Can I reset my security code? What do I do if I forget the security code that protects my cards?

To reset your security code in the Payhawk mobile app:

  1. Go to Cards. You'll be required to enter your security code.

  2. Click on Forgot code?.

  5. Then, enter a new security code.

  6. Next, confirm the new security code.
