How do I keep my PhonePe account secure?

Here are a few important points to note:

  • Do NOT enter your UPI PIN or scan any QR code to receive money. Everytime you enter your UPI PIN, you are making a payment to someone. You will never be required to enter the PIN to receive money. 
  • Do NOT share your card number, OTP, CVV, UPI PIN, or passwords with anyone. PhonePe or its representatives will never call you asking for such confidential information. Do NOT publicly share your mobile number or respond to any suspicious calls. 
  • Do NOT download any applications that can be used to remotely access your device.
  • Do NOT forward any SMS or other communication that you receive from PhonePe to unknown people.
  • Enable a password and screen lock for your PhonePe account so that only you can access it.
  • Do NOT use any unverified phone numbers which may be available on the web to reach out to PhonePe Support. Please reach out to us for help through our official support channels:
