What happens if someone steals my phone?

Your MyCash account is linked to your registered mobile number, not your mobile handset. You are the only one that can access your wallet using your personal PIN code thus your MyCash wallet is secure even after losing your phone.

 

What happens to my MyCash wallet if I change my phone (but not the phone number)?

• If you are changing your device, nothing will change in your MyCash wallet. When you have your new device, visit your Google Play or App Store and download the MyCash app. Sign in as normal into your account using your registered phone number and PIN and you will be ready to go.

• For feature phone users, you can still access your account by dialing the USSD menu on *888# and authenticating your user details with your registered PIN.

 

What happens to my MyCash wallet if I change my mobile number?

• If you change your mobile number you will need to register your new number for MyCash wallet first. Then if you have both the old and new mobile numbers (sim card), you can send money from the old MyCash account to the new MyCash account.

• If you no longer have access to the old mobile number, you can visit a Digicel store and provide your details and ID verification and the transfer of money will need to be arranged by back end staff.

 

What happens if I send money to the wrong number?

If you send money to a wrong number, please call 123 and we will support you as much as we can by trying to roll back the funds if still available in the wrong number’s wallet.

However, there are many ways you can avoid this situation:

• Use the QR code – When sending money to other MyCash App users and they are close to you, ask the person to show you their QR code.  They will be able to find this under the “My QR” tab in the main app screen.  You will need to tap the “Pay” option on your own device and hover your camera view over the QR code to go ahead with the transfer 

• Use the contact list – Another secure way for sending money on the MyCash App is to tap on the “Contact” tab located on the right side of the screen.  You will be able to go over your contact list and select the correct recipient to send the money.  If you send money to that person frequently, you can also see this in your “Recent Transactions” screen and be able to tap on that contact again to facilitate the process again.

 

What is a QR code?

A QR code or Quick Response code is a barcode that contains information about the user who will perform a transaction. The MyCash QR code will allow you to make payments and/or receive money with the MyCash App simply by scanning the code with your phone.

 

Where do I find my personal QR code?

You will be able to find your personal QR code in your MyCash App in the tab named “My QR”.

 

What is the difference with a Merchant’s QR code?

A merchant’s QR code is the QR code you find displayed at a Merchant’s cashier counter for making QR Payments.  You will be able to scan the Merchant’s QR code and complete your transaction by selecting “Pay” and scanning the code in your MyCash App; or keying in the Merchant’s displayed mobile number.

Please click here for the latest list of Merchant where you can use MyCash QR Pay.

 

Will using the QR code result in additional charges?

No, there is no charge associated when using your QR code when paying Merchants. 

There is also currently no charge for sending money person-to-person (P2P) using the QR code, however this is for a limited time only therefore enjoy it during the promotion period.

 

What information does the QR code contain? Is the QR code safe?

The QR code contains personal information such as your phone number to be able to identify your wallet. However, it does not contain the amount of money available in your wallet. They are meant to keep information private and to make transactions faster.
