Your UniCash account is protected by several layers — your password, two-factor sign-in, and a PIN to unlock the app. Here's how to keep it secure and what to do if something goes wrong.
Keeping your PIN secure
- Never share your PIN — not with friends, family, or anyone claiming to be from UniCash support. We will never ask for your PIN.
- Don't use obvious sequences — avoid PINs like 1234, 0000, or your birth year
- Change your PIN if you think someone has seen it — go to Settings → Security → Change PIN
- Don't reuse PINs across different apps or services
Two-factor sign-in
Every account has email two-factor sign-in switched on by default — when you log in, we send a one-time code to your email to confirm it's you. For even stronger security, you can add an authenticator app. You can manage both under Settings → Security.
Lost access to your account
If you can't log in or have lost access to your account, contact us at [email protected]. We'll work with you to verify your identity and restore access.
Suspicious activity on your account
If you notice transactions you didn't make, or if you think your account has been accessed without your permission:
- Change your PIN immediately — go to Settings → Security → Change PIN
- Contact us right away at [email protected]
- Include a description of what you noticed and the approximate date and time
We take all reports of account compromise seriously and will investigate promptly.
Biometric login
You can enable Face ID or fingerprint login on your device as a convenience — it replaces entering your PIN to open the app. To enable, go to Settings → Security → Biometric login.
Protecting your account from scams
Be aware of common scams:
- Phone calls claiming to be UniCash — we do not make unsolicited calls about your account
- Requests to "send UNC to receive a reward" — these are scams, always
- Links asking you to log in via SMS or email — only log in via the official UniCash app
- Requests to screen share — never share your screen with someone claiming to help with your UniCash account
