What is the Fapshi PIN?

Your Fapshi PIN is a 5-digit code used to authorise any money leaving your account, including:

• Transfers to other Fapshi users
• Payouts to Mobile Money or bank accounts
• Bulk payments

You must set your PIN before using these features.

💻 Set Your PIN via Dashboard

Step 1: Log into your Fapshi dashboard
Step 2: Click the Create button in the top-right corner and choose:
“A pin (transfers and payouts)”
Step 3: Enter your 5-digit PIN and click Submit

📱 Set Your PIN on the Mobile App

Step 1: Open the Fapshi mobile app
Step 2: Go to Settings → Security → Set PIN
Step 3: Enter your 5-digit PIN and confirm

🚫 Do Not Share Your PIN!

Never share your PIN with anyone — not even a Fapshi team member.
Your PIN protects your money. If someone has it, they can drain your account.
Fapshi will never ask for your PIN.

If you forget your PIN, check the Forgot PIN Guide to change it.
