Block Your Account

Written by Paytali Support

You can temporarily block your account to help keep your money safe. Once your account is blocked, transfers, airtime purchases, bill payments, cardless debits, and other outgoing transactions will be restricted until the block is removed.

Good to know: Blocking your account is temporary. It does not close your Paytali account.

  1. Open the Paytali app.
  2. Tap on your Profile Picture.
  3. Tap Account Name.
  4. Select Block Account.

Your account will be blocked immediately.
