Keep your PIN safe

Never share your PIN. If someone asks for it, say no and tell a grown-up.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Keep your PIN in your head. Don’t write it where others can see.

  2. 2

    Never tell your PIN to anyone, not even your friends.

  3. 3

    If someone asks for it, say no.

  4. 4

    Tell a grown-up you trust straight away.

  5. 5

    Think someone knows your PIN? Change it: tap Me, then Change next to My sign-in PIN.

Nobody from myKesho will ever ask for your PIN. Not on a call, not on WhatsApp, not by SMS.

Sharing a phone? When you finish, tap Switch at the top. Then nobody else can open your money without your PIN.

Something feels wrong? Talk to your parent or another grown-up you trust. Telling a grown-up is always the right thing to do.

On Me, look for Someone asked for your PIN? It reminds you what to do.

Questions

A friend says they’ll give me something for my PIN.

Still say no, and tell a grown-up. Your PIN is only for you.

What if someone used my myKesho?

Tell your parent. They can see everything in your jars, and they can give you a new PIN.
