Mobile Pay - Frequently Asked Questions

Thanks for your interest in using your VisionBank debit and credit cards with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay through your mobile wallet! If your questions are not answered below, feel free to call us at 800-574-8123 or email us at info@visionbank.com, or visit any of our conveniently located branches.

What is Mobile Wallet?

A mobile wallet is a form of wireless payment technology provided by your mobile device's provider. It allows you to store your VisionBank debit card information in a digital, secure and convenient manner right on your mobile device. Instead of using your physical debit card to make payments, you can pay using your smartphone, tablet or smart watch. A mobile wallet provides you with increased convenience and security while accessing your checking account funds through your debit card or credit card. Other payment cards can also be stored in your mobile wallet.


What Do I Need to Set Up and Use My Mobile Wallet? 

  • A compatible, Apple, Android, or Samsung device with internet access.

  • Your VisionBank debit or credit card(s)


Are There Fees to Set Up or Use Mobile Wallet on My Device?

There are no fees to set up or use your debit card in Mobile Wallet.


Is My Card Secure in Mobile Wallet?

Absolutely! With Apple, Google and Samsung Pay, your actual card number is never shared. Instead, a virtual account number is used so the card details are always kept safe. Also, if your device has been turned off, lost or otherwise inactive for the last 90 days, then cards will be deleted.
