How to change/reset UPI PIN In PhonePe

PhonePe, one of the most popular digital payments platforms in India, allows users to make instant and seamless transactions online. PhonePe is based on Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which is a government-backed platform that enables users to make instant bank-to-bank transfers using their smartphone. In this blog post, we will provide a complete guide for changing your UPI PIN in PhonePe.

What is PhonePe?

Before we begin, it’s important to understand what exactly is PhonePe. We are sure many of you must have heard about this UPI-based digital payments platform, but most people aren’t aware of how they can use them. Well, in simple words, the company claims that they offer a smooth and secure way for making online transactions using your smartphone.

All you need to do is link your bank account with the app and set up an official handle (your personal username) linked with these accounts. You can then use the app to send or receive money from other users who are registered on PhonePe as well! In addition to this feature, you can also manage multiple bank accounts, recharge your mobile number, pay your utility bills and much more.

What is UPI PIN? Why do you need to change it occasionally?

When you download the PhonePe app for the first time and create an account on it, you will be required to set up a four- or six-digit UPI PIN. This pin acts as the security password that will help secure all of your transactions from unauthorized access by anyone else other than yourself. You can use this UPI Pin for making any kind of transaction in PhonePe including sending money to another person’s bank account or paying bills online without having them swipe their credit card back at checkout! Once again we say “Thank God” because now we don’t have to worry about losing our debit or credit cards anymore.

UPI PIN is required to authorize all your transactions in PhonePe and is different from the ATM pin that we use for withdrawing money from an ATM machine. UPI PIN needs to be changed occasionally, as mandated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in order to ensure better security for users. The RBI has set a limit on the number of incorrect attempts that can be made before the account gets locked, so it is important to change your UPI Pin regularly.
