Why you should tap and pay with your phone.
Forgot your wallet? No worries. With your Prevail Bank debit card in your smartphone’s digital wallet, you can tap, pay, and be on your way — No card needed.
You can add your Prevail Bank debit card to all the major digital wallets, including:
- Apple Pay (for iPhones)
- Google Pay (for Android Phones)
- Samsung Pay (for Samsung Phones)
Your smartphone’s digital wallet acts like a virtual version of your debit card. Just hold your phone near the card reader, confirm the amount, and you’re done — no need to swipe or insert anything.
Is it secure?
Many security experts believe digital wallets are safer than using a physical card. Here’s why:
- Every purchase uses a one-time encrypted code, so your actual card number stays private.
- Your phone requires Face ID, fingerprint, or a passcode before any transaction — unlike physical cards that can be lost, stolen, or skimmed.
- Digital wallet transactions are protected by the same fraud protection as your physical card.
- Lost your phone? The “Find My Phone” feature lets you locate, lock, or erase it remotely. Consider enabling it if you haven’t already.
Other reasons to consider a digital wallet:
- Faster checkout. You aren’t spending time digging through your purse or wallet for your card.
- Extra convenience. Many apps will let you store not just credit and debit cards, but also ID cards, boarding passes, and even gift cards.
And just so you know, your actual debit card will stay activated and may still be used for everyday purposes. Options are good - right?
Look for this symbol to know when digital payments are accepted.
Remember, nothing is 100% safe as a payment option. But these mobile payment digital wallet solutions provide a bit more security.
