Your money has a name: the @username, explained

Account numbers were designed for banks to read. @usernames are designed for people. Your Fyntiq @username is how anyone, anywhere, pays you — one handle that works in every country we support.

Why a name beats a number

• You can say it out loud. Across a table or across a border: "I'm @maria." Done.
• It travels. No IBANs, no sort codes, no "which format does your country use" — the same handle works from Manila to Mexico City.
• It's yours. One identity for getting paid, paying back, and splitting the bill — for as long as you have Fyntiq.

Claiming yours

Handles are first come, first named. Download the app, and the @username you want is yours the moment you claim it — before someone else with your name gets there.

Staying safe with handles

A quick habit worth building: when you send to someone new, check the name and @handle on the confirmation screen — Fyntiq shows you exactly who's receiving before you confirm. And when someone owes you, use Request instead of waiting: it arrives with your verified handle attached, so there's never a doubt about where the money's going.
