Mobile Wallet Services
-
What are Mobile Wallet Services?
Mobile Wallet services allow you to make payments using your eligible mobile and wearable devices without having the physical card. Once you add your eligible debit or credit card to a device with one of these services, the card number is assigned a digital account number called a token. This token is securely stored on the respective device in place of the card number.
-
What Mobile Wallet services are my MidFirst Bank debit and credit cards compatible with?
MidFirst Bank debit and credit cards are compatible with Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, Samsung Pay, Fitbit Pay™ and Garmin Pay™.
-
Where can I use my Mobile Wallet?
Mobile Wallets work almost anywhere that a card can be swiped, inserted or tapped, using either NFC or Magnetic Secure Transmission technology. Any merchant where contactless payments are accepted will be available for Mobile Wallet purchases. Additionally, Mobile App purchases can be made on the device using your Mobile Wallet.

Most MidFirst Bank consumer debit and credit cards are available for use with your Mobile Wallet. At this time, business, commercial and HomeLine cards are ineligible for use with Mobile Wallet services.

How will using Mobile Wallet services keep my information secure?
By using a digital token, you no longer need to share your personal account information when shopping. This reduces the threat of sensitive data being stored or compromised since only the digital account number is passed on to the merchant.
-
Can I put my MidFirst card on multiple devices?
