Digital Wallets - Apply Pay, Google Pay and Fitbit Pay
Current Account Debit Mastercard can now be added to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Fitbit Pay digital wallets, making it easier for you to make Contactless payments. The use of digital wallet payments provides a safer more secure way to pay that removes the need to handle payment cards, touch physical buttons or exchange cash. It’s the modern way to pay, particularly given the times we live in.
And with the Credit Union Current Account you can tap away in the knowledge that Contactless payments are free.
To set-up Apple Pay, Google Pay and/or Fitbit Pay, just download the app, enter your Debit Card details by scanning the card or entering the details manually, and submit a One Time Passcode. Use wherever Contactless payments are accepted. You simply hold your mobile phone and/or Fitbit device near a payment terminal to make a Contactless payment.

SHOPPING ONLINE IS CHANGING FROM 1ST JANUARY 2021
The final changes under the second Payment Services Directive, also known as PSD2 comes into full force from 1st January 2021. PSD2 will mean changes to how you shop online from 1st January 2021.
These changes relate to the implementation of Strong Customer Authentication, also referred to as SCA. This means that you will need to carry out an additional security step before you complete your online shopping by using a one-time passcode which you will receive by text.
These changes mean better protection for you and will make shopping online even more secure.
What do I need to do?
To continue to shop online with your Current Account debit card, you need to make sure your Credit Union has the correct mobile number for you so that you can receive the one-time passcode required to complete your online shopping transaction.
You can update your mobile number by contacting your Credit Union.
