We'll sort it out three official installation methods (through Google Play, APK file from the bank's website and Huawei AppGallery), checking the device for compatibility, as well as solving common problems - from errors "Device not supported" to account blocking after several unsuccessful login attempts.

⚠️ Attention: Never install PSB Online from third-party sources (for example APKMirror, 4PDA), if there is no official signature of the bank on the download page. Fraudsters often distribute fake versions with viruses that steal card data.

3. Method 2: Installing an APK file from the official PSB website

If Google Play is not available (for example, on devices Huawei without GMS or on corporate networks), you can download APK file directly from the bank's website. Algorithm of actions:

  1. Open your browser and go to the official PSB website: https://www.psbank.ru.

  4. Before installation, allow installation from unknown sources:
    • Go in Settings → Applications → Special access → Install unknown applications.
    • Select the browser through which you downloaded the file and turn on the permission.
  • Run the downloaded APK and follow the instructions.

    2. Open the downloaded one in it psb-online.apk.
    3. In the section "Signature" should be displayed signature "AO PROMSVYAZBANK". If the signature is different, delete the file!
      4. How to check the hash amount of an APK file?

      1. Download the utility Hash Droid from Google Play.

      2. Select the downloaded psb-online.apk and count SHA-256.

      3. Compare the resulting hash with the official one on the PSB website (Security section).

      • 🔄 Delete the previous version of PSB Online (if there was one).
      • 🗑️ Clear cache in Settings → Applications → Google Play Market → Memory → Clear cache.
      • 📥 Download the file again (it may not have been downloaded completely).

    2. Click Install. If the application is not found, update AppGallery to the latest version.
    3. After installation, an error may appear during the first launch. "Google Play Services is missing". In this case:
      • Download GMS Installer (for example, LZPlay) from the forum 4PDA.
      • Install Google Play Services through this tool.
      • Reboot the device and restart the PSB Online.

    An alternative option for Huawei is to use Petal Search (application search engine from Huawei), where PSB Online is also available. However, in this case:

    • 🔐 Biometric authorization may work unstable.
    • 📱 Push notifications payments will be received with a delay.
    💡

    If login by fingerprint does not work on Huawei, try disabling the function "Smart blocker" in the security settings. It may conflict with the bank's biometrics module.

    5. First setup: authorization and card linking

    After installing the application, you must undergo initial authorization. To do this you will need:

    • 📱 Phone number linked to your PSB account.
    • 💳 Data of any card Promsvyazbank (Mir, Visa or Mastercard).
    • 🔑 Code from SMS or Push notifications (comes to the phone linked to the bank).

    Step-by-step guide:

    1. Open the application and click "Login".
    2. Enter the phone number in the format +7XXXXXXXXX (without spaces).
    3. Confirm entry with the code from SMS or Push (arrives within 1-2 minutes).
    4. Create login password (minimum 8 characters, with capital letters and numbers).
    5. Link the card: enter its number, expiration date and CVCcode (on the back).
    6. Set up biometrics (if your device supports it): go to Settings → Security → Biometric authorization.

    If an error occurs during authorization "Invalid code":

    • 🔄 Try requesting the code again (button "Send code again").
    • 📵 Check if your antivirus or spam filtering application is blocking SMS data-i="245">SMS Truecaller).
    • ⏳ Wait 5-10 minutes - sometimes the code arrives with a delay due to the high load on the bank’s servers.
    💡

    If you have lost access to the phone number linked to PSB Online, you can only restore it through a bank branch with a passport!

    6. Solving common mistakes

    Even after successful installation, users encounter problems. Let's look at the most common ones:
