Your basic-phone PIN

How your PIN works on a basic phone, and what happens after wrong tries. Never share your PIN; Nomapay will never ask for it.

1 min read

You choose a 4 to 6 digit PIN when you sign up on a basic phone. It approves every payment.

Never share it. Nomapay will never ask for your PIN, by phone, text or in person.

Wrong tries

  • 3 wrong tries lock your PIN for 1 hour. After that, you can try again.
  • 10 wrong tries lock it until you recover it, in the app.

After a PIN reset

For 24 hours after a reset, risky actions are paused: no large sends, no raised limits, no guardian changes. See the safety window.

Keep it safe

  • Don't use your birthday, or a number like 1234.
  • Cover the keypad when you type it.
  • We only ever store a scrambled form of your PIN, never the PIN itself.
