Your UPI PIN protects your UPI app like a lock on your digital wallet—it ensures that only you can complete transactions from your account. But sometimes you may want to change it for security reasons, update it after changing bank accounts, or reset it if you’ve simply forgotten it. The good news? On Paytm, it’s quick and hassle-free. In this guide, we’ll cover how to change UPI PIN in Paytm, explain how to update or reset UPI PIN on Paytm app, and show you how to reset forgotten UPI PIN Paytm—so your payments stay safe and seamless.
What Is a UPI PIN?
A UPI PIN (Unified Payments Interface Personal Identification Number) is a 4- or 6-digit secret code you set up when linking your bank account to a UPI-enabled app like Paytm. It works just like an ATM PIN—every time you make a payment, transfer money, or check your bank balance through UPI, you must enter this PIN to authorize the transaction.
It’s important to keep your UPI PIN confidential, as anyone with access to it could make transactions from your account. The PIN is stored securely by your bank, not the app, ensuring your financial safety.
