How to Make Garmin Pay Work with all Banks

Garmin Pay is notoriously limited when it comes to bank support. While Apple Pay and Google Pay offer extensive support for your debit and credit cards, Garmin Pay's list of participating banks is tiny by comparison.  Luckily – there is a workaround. With a Curve Wallet, you can use all your banks with Garmin Pay. Curve is one of the few cards compatible with Garmin Pay. But the thing is – Curve is not actually a bank. It's a wallet. And because it acts as your whole wallet in one card - it enables you to use any bank with Garmin Pay. 

How to use Garmin Pay with any bank via Curve 

  1. Download the Curve Wallet App

  2. Link Your debit and credit Cards to your Curve Wallet. 

  3. This will generate a Curve card, complete with a 16-digital card number, CVV and expiry. 
  4. Add your Curve card to Garmin Pay 

Whichever card you have selected in your Curve Wallet is the account which will be charged when you use Curve on Garmin Pay. And if you accidentally select the wrong card, Curve has a unique feature called Go Back in Time, which allows you to switch purchases from card to another retroactively. Download Curve to start using Garmin Pay with any debit or credit card within minutes.

Because not only do you get 100% bank support for Garmin Pay – you gain additional financial perks that help you save and earn as you spend. 

Earn cashback with Garmin Pay and Curve

Garmin Pay customers are better off with Curve in more ways than one. If you're in the UK, Curve customers get up to 20% cashback from hundreds of brands, including automatic cashback every time they shop at popular retailers like Argos, IKEA, Primark, and more. You can start earning some serious side cash if you think of upgrading to a premium Curve plan. All premium customers can unlock 1% cashback on all foreign spending outside Europe and an additional 1% cashback at up to 12 retailers of their choice, including major supermarkets and global brands like Apple, ASOS, Amazon, Uber, and loads more.

Save money abroad with Garmin Pay via Curve 

Not only can you use any bank with Garmin Pay abroad using Curve – you can eliminate foreign transaction fees at the same time. Curve is the only wallet that stops your banks and credit cards charging you fees abroad. Most banks and credit cards charge around 3% per transaction abroad, but with Curve, you can avoid these fees. Curve also offers the best exchange rates by using the Mastercard rate with no markups, ensuring you get the most value out of your money when traveling.

For Garmin watch users, Curve is the ultimate tool to unlock the full potential of Garmin Pay. It's not just a hack; it's a comprehensive financial solution offering convenience, rewards, and significant savings. Whether you're shopping locally or travelling internationally, Curve enhances your payment experience, making it as good as, if not better than, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
