Get started with Valora

To get started, please download the Valora app. Play Store and App Store links are available on our home page.

Next, open Valora and create your wallet:

1. Create a PIN and enable biometrics.
   • You will need your PIN whenever you make a transaction. Make it memorable but not easy to guess.

2. Set up your Recovery Phrase (CRITICAL)

   • Set this up before funding your account. You should do this privately and where you can safely store your Recovery Phrase.

   • Read more about your Recovery Phrase and why it is important, or check out our article on self-custodial wallets (which is what Valora is!)

   • Read more about safeguarding your Recovery Phrase.

   • Consider setting up email & phone backup for additional ways to recover your wallet.

3. Connect your phone number.

   • You will need to connect your own phone number if you wish to send funds directly to the phone numbers of your friends and family members. Read more about why you should connect your phone number. Once your number is connected, you can sync your contact information.
