How do I install Vipps and set it up on a new phone?

Requirements, first setup, a new phone and a new number.

Short answer

To get Vipps, download the app from the App Store or Google Play and follow the steps, and on a new phone you simply log in again. Users over 15 need BankID, a Norwegian mobile number and a Norwegian bank card and account. Vipps sends an SMS each time the app is installed on a new device.

Why

  1. Vipps supports iOS 16 and Android 9 or newer, according to its help pages.
  2. Loyalty cards are tied to your Vipps account, and Vipps says that when you log in on a new phone you have access to everything again.
  3. If you get the new-device SMS but did not install Vipps yourself, Vipps says you should act at once.

Details

You can remove an old phone from your profile: log in, tap the device and choose Glem enhet. If you also get a new phone number, tap the profile icon, choose Vis mer, tap the old number and follow the steps; people you have paid before will see the new number. A D-number works only if your bank offers BankID with a D-number.

Tip

Before you sell or hand in the old phone, remove it from your Vipps profile with Glem enhet.

What may differ

Children under 15 cannot set up a profile on their own: a parent creates it from their own Vipps app.
