How to Register on PicPay Using a Temp Virtual Number

PicPay is one of the largest fintech platforms in Brazil, offering a convenient way to manage personal finances through a mobile app. Founded in 2012, the company provides a digital wallet, instant transfers via Pix, credit services, cashback programs, and investment options. The app is available on both Android and iOS and is actively used by millions of users.

Want to try PicPay but don’t have a Brazilian phone number or prefer to stay anonymous? One effective solution is to register using a virtual number via the TIGER SMS platform. This article walks you through the process step-by-step and highlights important considerations.

Security and Verification in PicPay

PicPay implements a multi-layered security system to protect users:

-SMS confirmation: Verifying your number is a mandatory step
-Biometric authentication: May require fingerprint or face recognition
-Security PIN: Create an extra password to protect your account
-Device management: See and manage devices that have access to your account

Steps to Register on PicPay Using TIGER SMS

1. Download the PicPay App

Go to Google Play or the App Store and download the PicPay app. Install it on your device.

2. Visit the TIGER SMS Website

Go to the TIGER SMS website and follow these steps:

-Sign up or log into your account

-Top up your balance if needed

-Select Brazil as the country and choose the PicPay service

-Obtain a temporary phone number (also referred to as a virtual number or temp number)

-Copy the fake phone number for verification

3. Start Registration in PicPay

-Open the PicPay app

-Enter the virtual phone number you received from TIGER SMS

-Wait for the SMS verification code (you’ll receive SMS online)

-Enter the code into the app to complete registration

Important Notes

• One fake phone number = one account. If you want to create multiple PicPay accounts, you’ll need to purchase additional temp numbers for SMS.

• Some features in PicPay—such as investing, applying for loans, or using Pix transfers—may require full identity verification, including a valid CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID).

• PicPay is designed for Brazilian users, so full functionality is only available when you meet the country-specific requirements.

Final Thoughts

Registering on PicPay using a virtual phone number from TIGER SMS is a convenient way to try the app or maintain privacy during registration. However, keep in mind that using a fake phone number or a temporary phone number might limit your access to certain features, especially if the platform asks for full identity verification.

If your goal is long-term use and access to all the features PicPay offers, it might be worth considering obtaining an official Brazilian CPF and phone number.

Use virtual numbers responsibly and always in compliance with the terms of service of both PicPay and the SMS activate service provider.
