How To Secure Your G-Money Account
Security is one thing we cannot joke with even in the least of all situations.

The key to your G-money wallet is your Personal Identification Number (PIN). This is the code you use to authorize all transactions in your account.
To secure your account completely, do the following:
- Keep your PIN in your head only. Do not share with anyone except you are 100% sure that you can trust them.
- Do not reply to any online survey asking you to enter your G-money PIN Code.
- Do not save your G-Money PIN on your mobile phone.
- Only authorize transactions you can actually confirm knowledge of.
