Reasons why you would change your name in PayMaya

There is no single reason you want to know how to change your name in PayMaya.

One apparent reason is that you are not the one who owns the account, as it could be another family member’s account, and you just assisted them in creating an account.

Another reason is that you are having technical problems with your account, so you just decided to create a new one or have two accounts in the first place for any reason.

By doing so, you now have duplicate accounts, but this is not allowed to transfer the account to another person, such as another family member, but this needs to be approved by PayMaya.

Such accounts are treated as potential duplicates, so it’s better to act quickly, mainly when you actively use both accounts for different purposes such as personal and business.
