You can now use your FNB virtual card with Apple Pay

The folks over at FNB have earlier today announced that its customers can now use their Virtual Cards for contactless ‘Tap to Pay’ transactions in all FNB Pay enabled digital wallets such as FNB’s Tap to Pay & Scan to Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay.

This follows the most recent reveal by the bank that its Retail and Commercial customers have activated approximately half-a-million Virtual Cards with spend exceeding R1 billion since January this year alone. Aitsa!

Jason Viljoen, FNB Head of Digital Payments says, “The expansion of our FNB Pay enabled suite of digital wallets for contactless transactions is crucial to helping customers minimise their reliance on cash and having their physical card on hand. Our Virtual Card support for such transactions means that customers get improved convenience and safety when they choose to use any of the FNB Pay enabled digital wallets.”

If you remember, the Virtual Card comes with a dynamic CVV number that changes regularly to minimise the risk of fraud. In addition to the afore mentioned Contactless payment features, customers can use their Virtual Cards for eCommerce purchases, streaming services, subscription payments and QR payments via Scan to Pay on the FNB App.
