When adding your card to Google Wallet, you are required to verify it as a way to protect your account.

There can be several reasons why a transaction is declining. First, you should check for the following issues:

• Is there a message “Verification Needed” below the card in Google Wallet? If this message is displayed, you’ll need to complete the verification process by requesting a one-time verification code. You will not be able to use Google Wallet until this is completed.
• Is your Near Field Communications (NFC) switched off on your mobile device? If so, switch it on.
• Check to make sure you have an internet connection
• Make sure your card is activated, is not locked or cancelled
• Check to see if your card has expired
• Check to ensure you have sufficient funds

If your transaction is still declining after running through these troubleshooting steps, get in touch with us on 13 13 86 or via Facebook Messenger for further assistance.

If the replacement card has the same card number as the original, the details will remain the same.

When adding your Greater Bank Visa card to Google Wallet, your card number is not recorded - a virtual number is created instead.

Your account details aren’t shared with merchants as they will only receive the virtual number.

This is done to protect your card details so they aren’t exposed to others.

You will need to add your Greater Bank Visa card back into Google Wallet through the enrolling process.

You will only need to use your PIN when your transaction is over $200.

Some stores have a $100 threshold before your PIN is required.

This PIN is the same as your physical card.

The first card you add to Google Wallet will automatically become your default card that is used to pay.

To make Greater Bank your default card for Google Wallet, simply open Google Wallet, tap and drag your card to the “Default Card” spot at the top of the app’s Home screen.
