FAQ

Questions people ask

Is Pay Check on the Google Play Store?

Not yet. Download it only from our official Telegram channel. Android may ask you to allow installing apps from this source, and to allow restricted settings before SMS access can be turned on. The How to use page in the app shows each step.

Does Pay Check need my bank password or PIN?

No. Pay Check never asks for your bank or wallet password, PIN or code. It only reads the payment SMS your bank already sends to your phone.

Is my payment history sent to your server?

No. Payment history and app settings stay on your phone. Our server only keeps what is needed for your account, subscription and connected phones. Read the privacy policy for details.

Which phones does it work on?

Android phones that receive the bank SMS. One Google account can be used on up to 2 phones at the same time.

Can someone trick it with a fake SMS?

Pay Check reads messages only from the bank and wallet sender names it supports. For large amounts, you can also use Check to confirm the receipt with the bank before you hand over goods.
