Garmin Pay is a secure service. Your card details are not stored in the app or your device and are not forwarded to the merchant when you pay. Garmin Pay uses a device-specific number and a transaction-specific code to perform the transaction.
Only you can pay with your card using Garmin Pay. You confirm the transaction with your device's passcode. The passcode must be entered once every 24 hours if you do not take off the watch. Whenever the watch is taken off, the passcode must be entered before the next payment. Because you won’t need your card's PIN when you pay, no one will be able to see it. You can always be assured that you have your card with you on your device.
Garmin Pay is an easy-to-use, safe and touch-free payment method. You don't need to touch the buttons of a card reader or handle cash when shopping. You enjoy the same card benefits and protection as when paying with your physical card. Your purchases will be charged from your card in the same way as when you pay with a card. Your transactions will show in the app immediately after you have paid.
If your smartwatch is lost, unauthorised persons won't be able to see your card details or pay with your smartwatch. If you lose your card and deactivate it, you can get a new card that will be available to you immediately on your smartwatch if necessary.
