New phone? The 24-hour safety window
For 24 hours after you sign in on a new phone, Nomapay pauses risky actions, so a SIM thief can't act quietly. Here is what is paused and why.
For 24 hours after you sign in on a new phone, Nomapay pauses the actions a thief would want most. The same window applies after you reset a basic-phone PIN or recover your account.
What you can still do
- Receive money.
- Make small payments.
- Check your balance and activity.
What waits until the window ends
- Adding a new bank or mobile-money account.
- Raising your limits.
- Changing your guardians.
- Large sends.
The app shows when the window ends.
Alerts on your other phones
Your other signed-in phones get an alert: "New sign-in. Not you? Tap to stop it." If it wasn't you, tap it straight away.
Why it exists
Someone who steals your SIM can get a sign-in code. They cannot get your face or fingerprint key, and the window means they would not get a quiet 24 hours either. See SIM swap.
A shorter wait
Add a second factor (your key on another device, or an authenticator app) and the window is 1 hour instead of 24.
