The code is usually sent to your email, so your account stays protected not just during login, but also when you request withdrawals. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.prestmit.io\/en\/articles\/6997003-how-do-i-activate-2fa\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow Prestmit\u2019s 2FA setup guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Biometric_verification\"><\/span><b>2.

So when you\u2019re sharing personal details or doing transactions, it gets scrambled while it travels over the internet, making it much harder for anyone to intercept it and read it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_KYC_verification\"><\/span><b>4.

All the details you submitted will be checked, including the image or code, activation status, available balance, receipts, and whether there is a duplicate. If anything will prevent the card from being processed, they\u2019ll flag it immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_happens_if_your_gift_card_is_rejected\"><\/span><b>2.
