How to change Airtel 1234 default transfer pin?

Airtel transfer pin default pin is 1234.

To do that, please follow the below settings:

Go to your message box

New message and type in PIN 1234 New PIN

Send it to 432.

Let’s say you want your new code to be 8567 – Send the message like this PIN 1234 8567 to 432.

NB: You can also change your current Airtel transfer pin successfully, even if it is not the default pin.

Transferring Airtime or credit from your Airtel to another subscriber on Airtel is quick, but that does not mean you don’t a unique 4-digit pin, and you have to learn how to get yours.

But before we get down to the actual procedures, you must note that all registered prepaid Airtel lines come with 1234 as their default transfer PIN. Airtel does not allow subscribers to use this as a personal transfer pin.

Please don’t ask why, you should be able to guess it by now. For starters, the default 1234 Airtel transfer isn’t advisable to use, and Airtel doesn’t give it a go-ahead because someone can easily guess and use it to transfer your own money.

To make it simple, imagine every Guarantee Trust Bank account holder in the country is using a compulsory 1234 as its ATM pin for all customers.

There must be fraud every right? But making it a default pin can now give you the ability to change it to a unique non-guessable 4-digit code, which can be only decoded in one trillion guesses.

Back to Airtel, you must change the Airtel me2u transfer pin before you will be able to use the ME2U service.
