How to Set Up Wallet and Activate Apple Pay

Contactless payments have been one of the biggest advancements in mobile banking for years. It makes paying for small items easier than ever before, and now the technology has helped to launch Apple Pay. To make using Apple Pay a little less convoluted, Apple has looked to implement a card-storage app called Wallet. Through this app, users are able to add the details of their credit and debit cards, and in iOS 9, there’s also support for a wide variety of reward cards and coupons. All it then takes is a simple scan of your iPhone to make a payment, without the need to reach for your actual debit card. We’ll show you how to set up and use the Wallet app from scratch in this tutorial.

  1. Add a new card Open the Wallet app and select the + icon to begin adding a new card in Wallet. You’ll then need to confirm or set up either a Passcode or Touch ID to continue.
