How to add a Visa Debit card to Apple or Google Wallet? | Thriday (2024)

What is a Mobile Wallet?

A mobile wallet is a digital version of your physical wallet. It allows you to store your debit or credit cards on your smartphone or smartwatch. Once added, you can make payments with a simple tap of your device at any contactless payment terminal.

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to adding your Thriday Visa Debit Card* to Apple and Google Wallets:

• Contactless payments: No need to carry your physical card or fumble with cash; you just need to hold your device near a payment terminal to complete your transaction.
• Quick access: Your card is always on your phone or smartwatch, making it easier to pay on the go.
• Encrypted transactions: Your card details are encrypted, meaning they're never shared with merchants, adding an extra layer of security.
• Biometric authentication: Payments require authentication through Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode, reducing the risk of unauthorised transactions.

In addition, when you use your Thriday Visa Debit card*, your expenses are automatically tracked within the Thriday platform.

• Tax deductions: Thriday helps you identify and track tax-deductible expenses, making tax time easier and maximising your deductions.
