How do I use Apple Pay® or Google Pay ™ with my Switch Card?

  • Updated

Don't have your physical card? No problem! You can easily add your debit card information to your Mobile Wallet with Apple Pay® or Google Pay ™. This is especially great for in-person transactions while you're waiting for your physical debit card to arrive in the mail.

First, find your virtual debit card information and write it down so you can enter it easily when prompted. To find this, open the Switch Mobile App, go to the Profile Screen profile_icon.png, Select Card Information and then select View Card Number. This card is an exact match to your physical one.

Add your Switch card to Apple Wallet:

  1. Go to your Switch Mobile App and click on the Profile Screen indicated by the 3 horizontal stacked lines
  2. Click Card Information
  3. Click Add Card to Apple Pay
  4. Choose an Apple device from the list provided
  5. Click Next & Agree to Terms & Conditions
  6. You can now start using Apple Pay

With your iPhone or Apple Watch, once you've added your Switch debit card to your Apple Wallet, you can use Apple Pay in stores, restaurants, gas stations, within apps, on the web, and more. For more detailed information on setting up Apple Pay, visit Apple's support site here.

Add your Switch card to Google Pay: 

  1. Download Google Pay from your App Store. Google Pay can be downloaded on both Android and iOS devices
  2. If you have an Android device, make sure near-field communication (NFC) is enabled. (NFC is automatically enabled in iOS devices.)
  3. Go to your Switch Mobile App and click on the Profile Screen indicated by the 3 horizontal stacked lines
  4. Click Card Information
  5. Click Add Card to Google Pay
  6. Follow prompts to add your card

When you shop at a merchant that accepts contactless payments or Google Pay, simply unlock your phone and place it close to the card reader for a few seconds—without needing to open the Google Pay app. For more detailed information on setting up Google Pay, visit the Google Pay Guidebooks here.
