You can reset it by going to the website or calling support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of people use simple PINs like 1234 or their year of birth.

It only takes 30 seconds and can save you a lot of money in fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, as a safety net, keep at least AED 50 in your account. Traffic in Dubai is unpredictable, and if you run out of money at the wrong time, it can cost you a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1759043624764\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I transfer my balance to another account?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, you can&#8217;t move money from one Salik account to another because each account stays separate.
