Setting Up Digital Wallets: A Guide for Apple FCU Members

In today's digital age, the use of cash for transactions is becoming less and less common. With the rise of mobile payments and digital wallets, people are now able to make purchases easily and conveniently with their smartphones.

Since nearly everyone carries their mobile device everywhere, adding your credit or debit card information to your digital wallet allows you to carry less and pay easily. Learn more about how you can add your Apple FCU Visa® Credit or Debit card to your digital wallet below!

Devices and Their Digital Wallets

Depending on your device, you can use various digital wallets like Apple Pay®, Google Pay or Samsung Pay®.

Not all merchants are equipped to accept digital wallets, so you'll still need to carry a backup payment method.

How to Add Your Apple FCU Cards to Each Digital Wallet

Apple Pay®

  1. In the Wallet app, tap the Add button
    1. Tap Debit or Credit Card to add a new card
    2. Tap Previous Cards to add a card that you used previously
  2. Tap Continue
  3. Follow the steps on the screen to add your Apple FCU Visa card. You may be asked to manually provide card information or two-factor verification before your Apple FCU Visa card is approved in the digital wallet
  4. If you have a paired Apple Watch, you have the option to also add the card to your watch.

Samsung Pay®

  2. Tap Cards

Are Digital Wallets Safe?

From a data perspective, digital wallets use a process called tokenization, which randomizes your credit card data into a string of numbers and letters. In the event of a data breach at a merchant, a potential hacker would only gain access to the token for that transaction and not your actual card information. This makes shopping with a digital wallet a safer experience.
