How to Add A Debit Card to Your Digital Wallet

By now, you have most likely heard about digital wallets or have seen merchants have the option to pay with a digital card. You can add these digital tenders to your phone’s digital wallet. Depending on what phone you have, these digital wallets may be called something different.

Types of Digital Wallets:
By Apple: Apple Pay
By Google: Google Pay
By Samsung: Samsung Pay 

Now that you are familiar with some of these digital wallets let’s teach you how to add your Mabrey Bank debit card to your digital wallet. The good news is that this process only takes a few steps! 

For iPhone: 

  1. First, launch the Wallet App. 
  2. Click the plus sign located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. 
  3. When choosing Card Type, select “Credit or Debit Card” (This should be the first option) 
  4. Add your card by either scanning your card with your phone camera, or you can manually type in your card number. 
  5. Finally, complete the onscreen instructions to complete the process. 
  6. To use Apple Pay, hold your phone near the wireless reader at the register. Then lock your iPhone, use your thumb to double click the home button while the phone remains locked. This will bring up a prompt for you to use your Thumbprint, Face ID, or passcode to confirm your Apple Payment. Once confirmed, this action will send you a digital receipt, and you can be on your way! 

For Android: 

  1. First, Launch the Google Pay App. 
  2. Next, select the “Add a Credit or Debit Card” button at the screen’s bottom. 
  3. Select the “Add a Credit or Debit Card” to bring up the prompt to add your card. 
  4. You can use the camera to scan your credit card or manually enter your credit card number. 
  5. Finally, complete the onscreen instructions to complete the process. 
  6. When you are ready to pay in-store, open your digital wallet app and hold your phone near the wireless reader near the register. Depending on your security settings, you will need to authorize this transaction with Touch ID, Face ID, or a passcode. 

 

Not only is adding a card to your digital wallet easy, but it is also more secure than traditional payment methods. Sometimes we may be afraid to use technology because it may seem easier to “hack.” However, digital wallets use authentication such as a passcode, face ID, or touch ID to access. Digital wallets also use tokenization, which is the process of turning a meaningful piece of data, such as an account number, into a random string of characters called a token that has no significant value if breached. If a retailer is hacked where you have used your digital card, your card number will not be compromised. Here at Mabrey Bank, we always want to make sure our customers feel safe and that their money is secure. If you have any questions about how to set up your digital wallet, please contact your local bank branch.
