Security first

Digital-wallet security depends on both app controls and user habits. Keep credentials private, review alerts and act quickly when something looks wrong.

Never Share OTP, PIN or Password

One-time codes and account credentials can authorize sensitive actions. Do not share them with callers, social-media accounts, messaging contacts or websites claiming they can fix your account.

Lock a Missing Card

YAP Pakistan publicly describes in-app card locking controls. If a card is lost, misplaced or you suspect misuse, use the available lock control immediately and review recent transactions.

Watch Transaction and Login Alerts

Real-time alerts can help you spot unfamiliar spending or account access early. Treat an unexpected alert as a reason to review your account rather than ignoring it.

Avoid Phishing and Fake Support

  • Do not enter credentials after opening an unexpected SMS or social-media link.
  • Check domain names carefully before using a website.
  • Do not install remote-control apps because a caller requests it.
  • Never let another person register or verify your account using your documents.
  • Use official support routes for account-specific disputes.
Common Risks

Security Problems to Recognize

01

OTP Scam

A caller or message asks for a verification code. Do not provide it.

02

Fake App

A download link offers an APK or look-alike app outside a trusted store.

03

Account Takeover

Unexpected login alerts, changed details or unknown transactions can indicate unauthorized access.

04

Transfer Mistake

Sending to the wrong IBAN or account can be difficult to reverse. Check details first.

05

Lost Phone

A phone without a screen lock can expose apps and messages. Secure the device remotely if available.

Use a trusted network for sensitive financial activity whenever possible.
