One of Valyuz focus is safety.
Every Valyuz Client has possibility to manage a personal account via desktop, mobile, Android and Apple App in a fast, simple, reliable way. Security of the account and data also depends on Client‘s actions, knowledge and responsibility.
Here are some tips to make the payments safer:
1. Account password must consist of at least 16 characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It is highly recommended in different systems use different passwords. You can use a password manager to generate complex passwords securely.
2. Memorize the username and password and do not keep it in your devices, or keep it safe at all times and never disclose it to any third parties. Our personnel will never ask you to provide your password to us or to any third party. If you receive a request to disclose your password or other login information anywhere else than on the Website, you must not disclose your password or other login information at any event and must immediately report to us of such incident. Such a report can be made here support@valyuz.com.
3. Change your password regularly in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your Valyuz Account. We also advise you not to choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or a password that has a meaning. Avoid using common or predictable passwords (such as your name, date of birth, or favourite sports team). You must never allow anyone to access your Valyuz Account or watch you accessing your Valyuz Account.

If you have any indication or suspicion of your Valyuz Account, login details, password or other security feature being lost, stolen, misappropriated, used without authorization or otherwise compromised, you are advised to change your password.

Any undue delay in notifying us may not only affect the security of your Valyuz Account but may result in you being liable for any losses as a result. If you suspect that your Valyuz Account was accessed by someone else, you should also contact your local police and report the incident.
