Curve card Garmin pay issues UK

Hi, I am trying to add my Curve card to Garmin pay in the UK but it does not work, the card cannot be connected in the android app. Can someone help me please how to do it? Thank you

  • Just added my Curve card using the app and Venu 2. No issues

    I am a Apple user 

    I have heard (watching YouTube) this card has poor reviews and very poor customer service 

    Again I am not a Garmin user, however if you want to use Garmin pay in the uk, I think one of the best option is to open a Santander bank account and get a card from them, the ( almost) only established bank that accept Garmin Pay in the uk 

  • I just added mine today with no problems. The revolut card however does not add.  Apparently it's a known issue

    Thanks for the reply buddy 

    Do you know, whether there is contactless payment with any of the Huawei watches if yes whether UK banks accept it? Ta 

  • Opened a Curve account specifically to use Garmin Pay on my Epix Gen2. Tried to set it up today and it tells me that "This issuing bank is not yet participating..." Curve is one of the few listed on the Garmin site as working for the UK and others have succeeded. What am I doing wrong?

  • Did you get this sorted? What did you do?  I'm having the same problem.

  • No. Tried it a few times now and same result. Some people seem to have managed though without doing anything special. Might just have to accept that Garmin Pay is not really usable in the UK unless you just happen to have a Santander account. 

  • Okay spoke too soon! Lost track of how many times I've tried, but after your message and my negative reply, I tried again. Although the Curve card was visible (but refused to activate), I added the same card again and...drum roll...did it without a hitch. Also seems to have replaced the original entry. Did nothing different so can only assume that something has happened behind the scenes. The only change I can think of is a recent beta firmware update to 9.36 on the Epix. Maybe that has changed something. Of course I've not actually tried it to pay for anything yet!

  • In the curve app do you have curve fronted on or off. I've just noticed my email wasn't confirmed so I'll try again in 5 mins
