Overview
Adding your virtual Visa card or prepaid Mastercard to your phone's wallet lets you use your phone as a tap-to-pay payment method at payment terminals.
This applies to the following Wealthsimple cards:
- Visa Infinite* credit card
- Visa Infinite+* credit card
- Visa Infinite Privilege* credit card
- Wealthsimple Visa Business* prepaid card
- Wealthsimple Visa Platinum* prepaid card
- Kids and Teens Visa* prepaid card
- Prepaid Mastercard
Note: This article covers adding your Wealthsimple card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so you can spend using your phone. This is different from digital wallet deposits, where you use a debit card already stored in your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet to add funds to your Wealthsimple account. If you're looking to deposit money into Wealthsimple using Apple Pay or Google Pay, learn about depositing with your digital wallet instead.
If you have multiple personal and joint chequing accounts
You can spend from the chequing account connected to your prepaid card. This account has a card icon in the top right corner of the account screen in the Wealthsimple app (or Card details on the web).
- Your Visa Platinum prepaid card is connected to the chequing account your requested the card from. You can’t change which account it’s connected to, but you can request a prepaid card for other chequing accounts you wish to spend from with a physical card.
- You’re issued a single prepaid Mastercard and you can switch which account you can spend from with that card.
How to add your virtual card to a digital wallet
Wallet support depends on which card you have. You can add the following cards to a digital wallet:
- Apple Wallet, Google Wallet: Your Visa Infinite* credit card, prepaid business Visa card, or prepaid Mastercard
- Garmin Pay: Your Visa Infinite* credit card or prepaid business Visa card; Garmin Pay doesn't support the prepaid Mastercard
- Samsung Wallet: Your prepaid Mastercard only; Samsung Wallet doesn't support Visa cards
