Forgot your MoMo PIN in Benin?

Dial *880# → "Mon compte" → "Auto réinitialiser PIN". MTN Benin's conditions are specific: balance between 1 F and 5,000 F and no transactions in the last 3 days. Outside those bounds, call or SMS 111, or use MTN Benin's WhatsApp line 62 62 00 00.

*880# not working?

Wrong SIM. The code only answers on the MTN Benin network. On another operator's SIM it fails or opens a different service — every country and operator has its own code.

Roaming (abroad). Most roaming partner networks do not relay USSD sessions: the code fails or times out outside the country. Use the MoMo app over data/Wi-Fi. To send from Europe to a MoMo wallet, MoMo Homeland is an app — there is no diaspora USSD code.

Account not registered. A MoMo wallet must be registered (with ID) before the menu accepts transactions. If the menu opens but blocks you, visit a MTN Benin service centre with your ID.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MoMo USSD code in Benin?
Dial *880# from a MTN Benin SIM to open the MoMo menu. The code is verified on my.mtn.bj (July 2026). It only works on the MTN Benin network — on another SIM it does nothing or opens a different service.
Why doesn't the code work when I'm abroad?
USSD travels over your home operator's signalling network. While roaming, most partner networks do not relay the USSD session, so the code fails or times out. Use the MoMo app over Wi-Fi/data instead — or, to send from Europe to a MoMo wallet, the MoMo Homeland app (app only, no USSD).
Does the USSD code work without internet?
Yes. USSD runs over the cellular network, not mobile data. Balance, send and cash-out work on any phone with no data plan — that is the whole point of the USSD channel.
Does this code show MoMo fees?
The menu shows the fee when you confirm a transaction, but not the full price grid. To compare send and cash-out fees in Benin before you dial, use our calculator — codes live here, fees live on the fee page, and the two are linked.
