What permissions does Jim need to function properly?

The permissions Jim asks for and why.

Permissions Jim asks for

  • Location: protects your transactions and confirms activity on your account.

  • Notifications: alerts you about sales, account activity and important updates.

  • Camera: takes your selfie and captures documents for identity checks.

  • Photos: lets you upload documents when needed.

  • Microphone: lets you send audio messages in the chat.

  • Face ID or fingerprint: unlocks the app quickly and securely.

  • Tracking (iPhone only): lets Jim ask for permission to track activity across apps.


What Tap to Pay needs

On iPhone, Tap to Pay doesn't need any extra permissions.

On Android, turn on NFC and Location in your phone settings, and allow Jim to use:

  • Location

  • Nearby devices (NFC and Bluetooth)

  • Camera

  • Microphone

If you denied a permission before, turn it back on in your phone settings under the Jim app.
