      Are you sure the phone number is the one linked to your UBA bank account? This can be the issue.
      If you are sure, contact UBA customer care to fix it

      Hi,
      Based on feedback, I think activating UBA code without card is not working for now.
      I would suggest you get the UBA debit card if still unsuccessful
