Sync your cards with your favourite Digital Wallet
Conveniently pay online or over the counter with your eligible mobile device linked to your People First Bank Visa Debit or Visa Credit cards.
Apple Pay
Now you can enjoy all the benefits of your People First Bank card with Apple Pay on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac.
Using Apple Pay is straightforward and works with the devices you use every day. Your card information is secure because it isn't stored on your device or shared when you pay.
You can add a new People First Bank Visa Debit or Credit card to Apple Pay 24 hours after ordering it—before you receive or even activate your physical card.
Google Pay™
Wherever contactless payments are accepted, you can now use Google Pay™. Google Pay lets you make fast, easy and secure purchases.
Use your Near Field Communication (NFC) capable Android phone, running Lollipop 5.0 and above, to make payments with a single tap. For online purchases, select Google Pay at checkout.
Like Apple Pay, you can add your eligible People First Bank Visa card to Google Pay 24 hours after ordering, before receiving a physical card.
Samsung Pay
You can use Samsung Pay on your Samsung smartphone or smartwatch. Samsung Pay is simple to use and protects your purchases with fingerprint, Iris Scanner or device passcode.
With tap and swipe technology unique to Samsung Pay, your payments will be accepted virtually everywhere around the world.
To add your eligible People First Bank Visa card to Samsung Pay, within the Samsung Pay app, select 'Add card manually' when prompted to aim the camera at your physical card.

No, you can just use your card to tap and pay if you like. A digital wallet lets you pay without even needing your card though – you can use a device, like your phone so you won’t need to carry your purse or wallet.
Please note: you should never share your device passcode, or register more than one person’s biometrics (such as Face ID), while using a digital wallet.
Yes, it’s perfectly safe. You’re covered by Visa’s Zero Liability policy so you won’t be held responsible for fraudulent charges or unauthorised purchases.
If you use a digital wallet, it even has extra layers of security that use your device’s technology, plus it doesn’t share your card details (such as card number, expiry date and CVV) with anyone, even the store. The digital wallet passes a unique code to the merchant to process the payment, while your personal information remains secure.
Google Pay
Open the Google Wallet App on your eligible device and tap the ‘+’ sign, then either enter your card’s information or take a picture of your card.
When adding a Visa Debit or Credit Card you will always need to enter the three-digit CVV number located on the back of your card, and accept the People First Bank conditions of use.
Google Pay creates a digital card that is stored within the App, therefore the physical card details are not stored or displayed. Digital card information is protected by the secure Google device lock, pin, password or pattern, which must be used when making purchases.
Payment information is encrypted with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored on secure servers. The physical card details are never shown in the App or shared with the merchant when the payments are made in store.
Yes, you can.
Simply select ‘Pay with Google Pay’ at checkout.
Follow the prompts to select which card you’d like to pay with and complete your purchase.
You will receive a receipt as a standard Google notification.
Click on the notification to view your receipt which will display the merchant's name, along with the basic transaction details (time, amount, etc).
Your digital card will have the same daily limit as your physical card.
Samsung Pay
Make sure your People First Bank card is the first card displayed in Samsung Pay.
You can check or update your default card within the Samsung Pay app by selecting the All tab, then Payment cards. From here, you can view your cards and set or unset your People First Bank card as your default payment method.
