- Tez app will send an OTP to verify your number and it will detect the OTP automatically. If not, enter the OTP manually and hit enter.
- Once your number is verified, select the app security method. You can either select your phone’s existing screen lock such as pattern lock, fingerprint or create new Google PIN. Make a note that, this is not UPI PIN and you need to enter this PIN every time to open the Tez app on your smartphone. We recommend you to use your phone’s screen lock such as pattern lock or fingerprint. That’s it. This completes the setup process. Follow FAQ 2 to link your Bank account to Tez app.
