This pin was automatically assigned to you by MTN for making transfers, but you wouldn’t want to use that would you? I guess not, you’re smarter than that.

For security reasons, it’s important to change this transfer pin first to your own personal pin that you can remember in order to avoid the illegal transfer of your airtime from unauthorized people. Now how do you do that?

After sending the text, you’ll receive a notification message confirming your change of pin.
