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 only a personalization that you see within the account; it does not affect your transactions or your account verification.
- Tap the menu icon at the top left of the screen to go to the My account section
- Tap the Account and settings section, then tap the Personal information item
- Tap the edit icon on the profile photo at the top of the screen
- Use one of the options that opens:
- Take photo — take a new photo with the camera
- Upload image from gallery — select an image from your device
- Remove photo — remove your current profile photo (only visible if you have a photo uploaded)
Note: The profile photo is an interface element that only you can see. Your selection is not shown to other users or transaction counterparties.
What should I be careful about when taking a photo?
When you tap the Take photo button, the camera view opens and the area where the photo will appear in the profile is highlighted with a circular frame. Camera permission is requested on the first launch; you can revoke this permission at any time from your device settings.
- On the Personal information screen, tap the edit icon on the profile photo, then tap the Take photo option
- If asked, grant camera access
- Tap the icon to switch between the front and back cameras
- When the image inside the frame is ready, tap the Take button
- Tap Apply to confirm the preview, or Retake to take another photo
- When you return to the Personal information screen, tap the Save button
Note: Since the part inside the circular frame appears in the profile, make sure your face is centered in this area.
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 are presented in masked form. You can update your email and phone using the edit option next to those rows; full name information is read-only.
- Tap the menu icon at the top left of the screen to go to the My account section
- Tap the Account and settings section
- Tap the Personal information item
The following fields appear on the screen:
- Full name: The full name on the ID document you submitted during account verification
- Email: The email address linked to your account (for example, masked as
mu***[email protected])
- Phone: The mobile phone number linked to your account (for example, masked as
+9054******15)
Note: Masking is applied so that your information is not visible if a third person looks at your screen. Your original information is stored in full in the system.
How do I change my full name?
Since your full name is tied to the official ID document you submitted during account verification, it cannot be changed from within the app. To change your full name, you can create a request by starting the live chat via Paribu Support; the process is carried out via ID document verification.
How do I change my email or phone information?
You can update your email address and phone number from the edit option to the right of the relevant row on the Personal information screen. For security, this action is completed with your password, 2-step authentication, and identity verification.
- Open the My account > Account and settings > Personal information screen
- Tap the Edit email or Edit phone option to the right of the row you want to update
- Enter the requested information on the screen that opens (for email, your password and new address)
- Verify your identity with your 2-step authentication method, then scan your ID document and complete the face check
- Your request is taken into review; the result is sent to you within the app
