FAQ

About Garmin Pay

Garmin Pay is a payment facility from Garmin that lets you make contactless payments easily and securely using your smartwatch (currently, the Vivoactive 3 model).

The Garmin Pay spending limit is the same that otherwise applies to your card.

In "one" you can view all the transactions made with your card.

Check the transaction overview and your card’s spending limit in "one". If you have other questions, please call our customer service on  +41 58 958 84 00.

Getting started

A smartphone is needed to activate Garmin Pay on your watch with the Garmin app. 

Yes. "one" is the digital service for your card that gives you a comprehensive overview of your spending at all times. The personal details (e-mail address, mobile number etc.) you store in "one" are required for the security check conducted when you activate Garmin Pay.

No. Payments can be made with your watch even if your smartphone is not nearby. Your watch also does not have to be connected to the Internet.

Yes. Comprehensive security measures apply to payment confirmations (authorisation) as well as data protection.

Payment authorisation: A personal security code is required in order to use Garmin Pay (wearable PIN). Due to automatic blocking of this personal security code (wearable PIN) on your smartwatch, you have to regularly re-enter the code - for instance, whenever you put on the watch or, at the latest, every 24 hours. If the automatic blocking is deactivated, your personal security code (wearable PIN) will have to be entered the next time you use Garmin Pay. This ensures that only you yourself can use Garmin Pay to pay. 

Data security: When you add your Viseca card to Garmin Pay, Garmin Pay generates an encrypted virtual image of your card on the wearable ("token" = a new digital card number). Only the Mastercard and Visa card organisations are able to identify the cardholder's actual card number from this token. When paying with Garmin Pay, only the token is transmitted to the vendor, i.e. the vendor does not receive any real card information. Garmin does not have access to this encrypted transaction information, because the information is only de-encrypted once it is on the wearable (not by the provider). This ensures the best possible protection for your card and transaction data.

No. The use of Garmin Pay requires a personal 4-digit security code (wearable PIN). Once you have entered this personal security code on your smartwatch, you no longer have to enter any further PIN code at the payment terminal (neither the PIN code for your card nor the wearable PIN) in order to authorise the payment, regardless of the amount.
