Frequently Asked Questions

Different wallets have different processes for adding cards. You’ll want to refer to the website for each provider for specifics. Here are links to three of the most popular:

Most major cellphone manufacturers include a digital wallet as part of the pre-installed software that comes with the phone. That means the digital wallet you use may depend on the phone you choose. Some wallets aren’t phone-specific and should be available in the app marketplace for your phone. Be sure to only use digital wallets from companies you trust and only download them from secure sites.
First Tech doesn’t charge fees for using a digital wallet, but some digital wallet services might. Be sure to read the Terms & Conditions for each provider to understand how and when fees might apply.

Using a digital wallet, like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Wallet, can be more secure than using physical cards. When you make a purchase using a digital wallet, it sends a unique code or temporary card number to the vendor that is different than your actual card number and is only good for that transaction. That can prevent hackers and other bad actors from capturing your card number. Also, the security features of your phone or computer, including passwords and biometrics, make it even harder for someone to get your card information.
