Even if you lose your phone, your KBZPay Digital Gold-linked Investment or money is safe – only you can access the KBZPay App with your secret password.

Here are a few helpful tips to keep your money safe:

(1) Always use a separate password/PIN for your phone and mobile wallet in the KBZPay app. Do not share this password/PIN with anyone. This will ensure that even if your phone is stolen, no one else will be able to access your mobile wallet.

(2) Should you suspect someone has knowledge of your password/PIN, change it immediately.

(3) Your personal information is just as important as your money, so take the necessary precautions with it. Do not leave important documents such as your passport and NRIC card or copies of these lying around. Limit the sharing of personal information to only those that need to know, and whom you trust.

(4) Should you misplace your phone, please immediately notify KBZ Bank through our helpline.

(5) Do not fall prey to false rumors or panic if you suspect unauthorized activity, simply report it through our helpline — keep this phone number (+95 99 6996 3211) handy for emergencies.
