Obviously, it needs to be enabled to actually use the wallet app. Probably also have to enable PayWave on the card and maybe also enable online purchasing. I'll give it a try anyway.

Tried turning on NFC and enabling card for PayWave and online purchases but still no joy. I'll talk to my bank at some stage. No urgency, it's just that we seem to getting pushed into making electronic payments, these days. ATMs seem to be disappearing as well so getting actual cash may become less easy in future. Some would say that this is progress. I say that it's more like a PITA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
