Stay safe and be scam aware

If something seems or smells off, you might be right.

  • PayID will never contact you directly. Not ever.
  • Emails or text messages claiming to be from PayID are a scam.
  • PayID will never ask you to send money to receive money or ask you to ‘upgrade’ your account.

 If you believe you have been scammed, please contact your financial institution.
