If you use your debit card through a mobile wallet like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay, there’s an important update you need to be aware of. A small number of multi-network debit cards need to be updated to ensure uninterrupted service starting 1 January 2025.
Here’s what you need to know
The debit card stored in your mobile wallet needs to be updated. To ensure uninterrupted payments, you must remove the card from your mobile wallet and re-add it before 31 December 2024. This update affects only debit cards in mobile wallets and does not impact:
Plastic debit cards – Your physical card will work as usual.
Credit cards – These are not affected by the update.
Why is this necessary?
The update involves refreshing an expiry date associated with your debit card in the mobile wallet system. Rest assured, this is not a security issue, and no data has been compromised.
How to Update Your Card
Open your mobile wallet (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay).
Remove your digital debit card.
Re-add the card by following the wallet’s setup process.
Once added, your card is ready to use without any disruptions.
What happens if I don’t update?
If you don’t update your card by 31 December 2024, you may experience declined transactions starting 1 January 2025. Simply completing the steps above will resolve the issue.
