How to Change UPI PIN in Google Pay

Google Pay, initially introduced as ‘Tez’ in 2017, was a pioneer in the UPI-based payment system. Following a rebranding on August 28, 2018, it became widely known as Google Pay. UPI, short for Unified Payments Interface, offers a range of features such as self-transfer, balance checking, QR code payments, and more. In India, Google Pay, also referred to as GPAY, is among the most popular payment apps, facilitating various online transactions. Every transaction on Google Pay is secured by a unique UPI PIN, typically a 4-digit code, required to authorize bank transactions. While this PIN is set during the initial setup of your Google Pay account, you may need to change it due to forgotten PINs or security concerns. Here’s a guide on how to change your UPI PIN in Google Pay.

Steps to Change UPI PIN

1. Launch the Google Pay app on your device and locate your display picture in the top-right corner.
2. Tap on the display picture, then select the bank account for which you wish to change the UPI PIN.
3. After selecting the bank account, you’ll notice a three-dot menu icon at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to reveal a drop-down menu.
4. From the drop-down menu, choose the option ‘Change UPI PIN.’
5. Enter your current (old) UPI PIN and then proceed to enter the new UPI PIN twice for confirmation.
6. Once you’ve entered the new UPI PIN and confirmed it, the changes will be saved.

Additional Notes

• If you mistakenly enter the wrong UPI PIN more than three times, you’ll need to wait for 24 hours before attempting to reset the UPI PIN.
• In case you wish to change your UPI ID associated with Google Pay, follow these steps:
  • Open the Google Pay app and tap on your display picture.
  • Navigate to ‘Payment methods’ and select the bank account for which you want to change the UPI ID.
  • Tap on the existing UPI ID and then select the ‘+’ option to enter and save the new UPI ID.

By following these steps, you can easily change your UPI PIN or UPI ID in Google Pay, ensuring enhanced security and convenience for your online transactions.
