How do I use my mobile wallet to pay with my phone?
After you add your eligible debit or credit card to your mobile wallet, you can pay with your phone by following these steps:
- Look for the contactless symbol at checkout (it's the one with four vertical, curved lines that widen from left to right)
- Open your digital wallet app (you might need to enter a password, use your fingerprint, or face ID)
- Select the card you want to use for payment
- Hold your phone near the payment terminal until the transaction is confirmed
Depending on how you pay, your app will charge the payment to your card of choice.
