Installing from Google Play or the App Store

1

Open the store app

Google Play on Android, or the App Store on iPhone.

2

Search "FamApp by Trio"

This is the current listing for the app formerly known as Fampay.

3

Tap Install

The store handles the download and installation automatically.

4

Open and set up your account

Follow the in-app steps to verify your identity and link a bank account or add funds.

Alternative Route

Installing an APK file instead

If you have a specific reason to install outside the Play Store — for example, a device without Play Services — here's what that process generally involves, and what to be careful about.

1

Confirm the source is trustworthy

Only use a file from a publisher or site you have real reason to trust. See our download page for what we currently offer.

2

Allow installs from this source

Android will prompt you to allow installation from unknown sources for that specific app or browser. Only enable it for the install, and consider turning it back off afterward.

3

Open the downloaded file

Tap the APK file from your notifications or file manager to begin installation.

4

Review the permissions requested

Before confirming, check what the installer is asking to access. Be cautious of anything beyond what a payments app would reasonably need.

5

Finish and open the app

Once installed, open it and proceed with account setup as usual.

This is a finance app

Because it's tied to a bank account or prepaid card, we'd encourage installing from Google Play or the App Store unless you have a clear, informed reason not to.

Troubleshooting

If installation fails

Check available storage

Free up space if your device is running low — this is one of the most common reasons an install stalls or fails.

Check your Android version

If the store reports the app isn't compatible with your device, your OS version may be older than what's currently required. See our compatibility page.

Restart and retry

A failed download can sometimes be resolved by restarting the device and reattempting the install on a stable connection.

Update Google Play services

An outdated Play Store or Play services build can occasionally block installs — check for pending updates to those first.
