On Paribu, you can manage your profile photo, full name, email and phone information from the Personal information screen. You can update your email and phone information with identity verification; full name information is presented as read-only for security reasons.
How do I change my profile photo?
In the Paribu app you can set your profile photo by taking a new photo with your device camera or by uploading an image from your gallery. The profile photo is a personalization only you see; it has no effect on your transactions or your identity verification.
- Tap the menu icon in the top left of the screen to open the Account section
- Tap Account and settings, then Personal information
- Tap the profile photo at the top of the screen or the edit icon on it
- Use one of the options that open:
- Take photo — Take a new photo with the camera
- Upload from gallery — Choose an image on your device
- Remove photo — Remove your current profile photo (visible only if you have a photo uploaded)
Note: The profile photo is an interface element only you can view; it is not shown to other users or to transaction counterparties. Because your choice is stored with your account, it is kept when you change devices or reinstall the app.
What should I watch out for when taking a photo?
When you tap Take photo, the camera view opens and the area that will appear on your profile is highlighted with a circular frame. Camera permission is requested the first time; you can remove this permission from your device settings whenever you want.
- Tap the profile photo on the Personal information screen and tap Take photo
- If requested, tap Grant access on the Allow camera access screen
- Tap the camera direction icon to switch between the front and rear camera
- When the image inside the frame is ready, tap Capture
- Tap Apply to confirm the preview, or Retake to take it again
When you tap Apply, the photo is saved directly; there is no separate confirmation step.
Note: Because the part inside the circular frame is what appears on your profile, keep your face in the middle of that area.
If the image cannot be uploaded
If the image you chose from your gallery is too large, you see a warning titled Image size is too large: "You can upload images up to 5MB in jpeg, jpg, png, heic formats." The process completes when you choose a smaller image or upload another one with Try again.
How do I view my personal information?
The Personal information screen shows your full name, email address and mobile phone number together. For privacy, the email and phone details are presented masked. You can update these details with the edit option next to the email and phone rows; the full name is read-only.
- Tap the menu icon in the top left of the screen to open the Account section
- Tap Account and settings
- Tap Personal information
The screen contains these fields:
- Full name: Your full name as it appears on the identity document you submitted during account verification
- Email: The email address linked to your account (masked, for example
mu***[email protected])
- Phone: The mobile phone number linked to your account (masked, for example
+9054******15)
Note: Masking is applied so your details are not visible if a third party looks at your screen. Your original details are stored in full in the system.
How do I change my full name?
Because your full name is tied to the official identity document you submitted during account verification, it cannot be changed inside the app. For a name change you can create a request by starting the live support chat through Paribu Support; the process is handled with an identity document check.
How do I change my email or phone information?
You can update your email address and phone number with the edit option to the right of the relevant row on the Personal information screen. The process is completed with your password, a verification code and identity verification.
- Open Account and settings → Personal information
- Tap Edit email or Edit phone to the right of the row you want to update
- Enter the requested details on the screen that opens — for an email change, the Current password and Your new email address fields are filled in
- Enter the verification code that arrives through the method active on your account
- Starting from the Verify your account screen, scan your identity document, hold the document chip close to your phone and complete the face verification
- When you see the Your request is under review screen, the steps are complete

Warning: This flow does not change the information instantly. When you complete the identity verification, your request goes to our team for review and the result is communicated to you. In addition, no crypto asset withdrawal can be made for 48 hours after an email or phone number change, for your security.
If you cannot access your registered email address, you can reach Paribu Support through the Request support link on the email change screen. If you have no access to your registered details at all, the recovery flow that runs without signing in is another route — it is explained in the Forgot my password, what should I do? article.
