USE YOUR CARD WITH MORE CONVENIENCE AND LESS WORRY
Ensuring that your purchases are easy and secure whether you are shopping online or in-person at a store is a top priority. We have collaborated with digital mobile wallet tools including Apple Pay™ and Google Pay™ in order to make this happen with your MFCU VISA credit card or MasterCard debit card.
Apple Pay™
Apple Pay™ provides a simple and easy way to use your iPhone or Apple Watch to pay in-person or online. When you make a purchase, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code to pay for your items so that your card number and identity are not shared with the merchant. Add your MFCU credit or debit card in the Apple Passbook app by simply taking a picture of your card or manually inputting the card details. If you are making a purchase in-person at a participating store, hold your phone or watch near the contactless payment terminal and a subtle vibration or beep will confirm your payment has been successful. If you are making a purchase within an app or online, select Apple Pay at checkout to pay for your purchase.

Google Pay™
Google Pay™ is a mobile payment solution that is simple, secure and easy to use. By using Google Pay, your card number and identity are not stored on your phone or given to the merchant when making a payment either in-person or online. Instead, Google Pay uses a virtual account number to represent your account information and provides an extra layer of security to prevent fraud. Add your MFCU credit or debit card in the Google Pay app by simply taking a picture of your card or manually inputting the card details. When you are making a purchase in-person at a participating store, unlock your phone as usual and hold it over the merchant’s contactless payment terminal.
