FlashPay uses the same security standards as the world's leading banks to protect every naira in your account. Here is what that means for you.

Your security is a shared responsibility. Here are important tips to keep your account safe.
FlashPay staff will never ask for your PIN, password or OTP. Never share these with anyone, including family members or people claiming to be from FlashPay support.
Turn on fingerprint or Face ID login in your Security Settings. Biometric login is faster and more secure than PIN login in most situations.
FlashPay sends a notification every time your account is accessed. Review these alerts regularly and report any login you do not recognize immediately.
Always install FlashPay updates as soon as they are available. Updates often include important security patches and improvements to protect your account.
Avoid obvious PINs like 123456, 000000 or your birth year. Use a unique PIN that you do not use for any other app or service.
Only download FlashPay from the official Google Play Store or App Store. Be suspicious of any link claiming to be FlashPay sent via WhatsApp, SMS or email.
