BCU PayTag is a Visa payWave sticker that attaches to your mobile phone, turning your phone into a contactless Visa credit or debit card, it’s really convenient.
PayTag is right for you if you like the convenience of having your card wherever your mobile phone is, without having to think about it. So whenever you’re somewhere that takes contactless payment, if you’ve got your phone, you have a method of payment.
BCU PayTag works with any mobile phone regardless of make, model, age or operating system. It attaches to your phone so you can make purchases without your Visa card wherever contactless payments are accepted.
Simply hold your mobile phone over a contactless payment terminal to make a purchase (you’ll need to enter a PIN for purchases over £80).
Control your cards and PayTag anywhere, anytime using the BCU Mobile app – turn PayTag on and off, set a spending limit on your cards and update your PIN for instance. If you’ve got a BCU Visa Debit PayTag you can also switch between your accounts when it suits, using BCU Mobile or internet banking.
BCU PayTag gives 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. Check our guide on Security and Cyber-fraud for tips on keeping your card safe.
