What information do I need to provide to register to Blink?

You only need a smartphone and internet access. Download the app and open it — no personal information is required to get started.

We recommend adding a phone number and email address to your account, which enables login recovery and unlocks additional features such as setting a username. Adding a phone number also allows you to increase your transaction limits if you choose Custodial Mode.

Once you've entered your phone number, you'll receive an SMS or WhatsApp text message for account authentication. After that, you can create an optional unique username for Lightning Address and internal Blink transactions.

Blink offers two modes of operation — Custodial Mode and Non-Custodial Mode — and the availability of each depends on your status and country of residence. See the Terms and Conditions for details.

Please note that the username you create will be visible to other Blink users, so we recommend choosing your username with this in mind.

Once registered it is recommended to add an email address which you can use to log in going forward.
