Semble transforms your smartphone into a mobile wallet, so you can pay for purchases using your smartphone. Just hold, beep and go.
It’s a BCU Visa card, just without the card
Semble works in the same way as your BCU Visa cards. Simply hold your Semble-ready smartphone over a contactless payment terminal to make a purchase (you’ll need to enter a PIN for purchases over £80).
Choose how you’d like to pay
You can set up your Semble to pay for purchases in two different ways:
Add or change the cards you’d like to pay with at any time.
Security just like your BCU Visa cards
The Semble Ready secure SIM, which you’ll need to set up Semble, is encrypted to the same global security standards as the chip on your BCU Visa card – giving you the same protection as your BCU contactless debit and credit cards. Please remember though, that it’s still up to you to take reasonable care of your card and phone.
Get extra control with BCU Card Control
Semble works with BCU Card Control so you’ll still be able to control your cards from anywhere using your BCU Mobile app . For example, set a spending limit on your card, update your card PIN and, if you have a Visa debit card, change the Visa Debit account that Semble is linked to.
You’ll need a compatible Android smartphone, a Semble Ready secure SIM from 2 Degrees, Vodafone or Spark, and a BCU Visa credit card or BCU Visa Debit card.
Download the mobile app for your mobile network, free from Google Play.
Set up your profile in the Semble mobile app, then add your BCU Visa cards to Semble and create a PIN for these cards. Make sure your Near Field Communications (NFC) is turned on in your phone settings.
Then whenever you want to pay for purchases, simply hold your smartphone over a contactless payment terminal (look out for the Visa payWave symbol), wait for the beep, and you’re good to go.
BCU’s lending criteria, Credit Card Conditions of Use and Visa Debit Card Conditions of Use apply.
