Digital cards
If your card is PAYS enabled you can add it to either your Google Pays Wallet or your Apple Pay Wallet.

When adding your card you will need to follow a few prompts within the App Pays Wallet to authenticate you as the owner of the card. These steps are dependent on the App Pays Wallet you are using.
- 2. When making an instore purchase using your smartphone, log into your Pays Wallet App, and then pass or wave your phone over the terminal where the contactless logo is located.
- 3. When shopping on your smartphone, you can also use your Pays Wallet to make purchases in specific apps.
- 4. When using a shopping app, such as one for buying food or a ride-share service, you could opt to use your digital wallet as the payment option.
