Before you start

Step by step

  1. Open the Wallet app and tap the Add Card button (the + sign).
  2. Tap Debit or Credit Card, then Continue.
  3. When the camera opens, tap Enter Card Details Manually: the card is virtual, so there is no plastic to scan.
  4. Enter the name as shown on the card, the number, expiry date and CVV, and follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. If you are asked to verify the card, choose to get the code by text message or email: it goes to the phone number or email you registered with Cryptocard.
  6. Done: the card shows up in Wallet and you can pay with Apple Pay.

Button names are the ones Apple uses in English; they may vary slightly depending on your iOS version or iPhone language.

How to pay in a store

  1. Double-click the side button of your iPhone (or the Home button, if it has one).
  2. Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
  3. Hold the top of your iPhone near the payment reader until you see Done.

The payment is taken from your Cryptocard balance, just like paying with the card. Your transactions show up in the Cryptocard app.
