How to Add your AIB Card to Garmin Pay
Although AIB doesn’t currently support Garmin Pay directly, there’s a quick workaround. With Curve Wallet, you can link your AIB debit and credit cards to Garmin Pay in just a few minutes – entirely free of charge. Garmin Pay typically supports a limited range of cards in Ireland and Europe, but Curve Wallet expands these options. Curve isn’t a bank or standard card; it’s a digital wallet that combines all your cards into one. With one Curve card, you unlock Garmin Pay compatibility for every card in your wallet, including AIB.
How to Use Curve to Link AIB to Garmin Pay
- Download the free Curve Wallet app.
- Link your AIB debit or credit card to your Curve Wallet.
- Curve will create a unique card number, expiry date, and CVC for you.
- Add your Curve card to Garmin Pay through the Garmin Connect app.
And that’s it! You can also add any other debit and credit cards to your Curve Wallet, allowing you to use them all with Garmin Pay. Every time you pay with Garmin Pay, Curve simply charges the card you have selected in the app. You can even use their Go Back in Time feature if you want to change the payment card you used for an earlier purchase.
