In a spirit of collaboration, I very humbly raise a modest criticism regarding a warning - in my opinion misleading, which generates confusion - easily resolvable.
---
I would like to point out that all my credit/debit cards are contactless. In addition, two of them are stored in my Android smartphone as a Google Pay payment method.
The above implies that my cards work contactless perfectly.
Except with Garmin Connect.

In fact, my cards were acquired (stored) in Garmin Connect, but they received this warning:
“ERROR
This card cannot be added to your Garmin device because your bank has not enabled it for contactless payments”.
After a long, thorough search, the impeccable Garmin Support Center, here here and finally here:
informs that my bank - quite simply - is not affiliated with the Garmin Pay contactless payment platform.

?? That said, wouldn't it have been better, as well as more correct and appropriate, to replace this warning:
"ERROR
This card cannot be added to the Garmin device because your bank has not enabled it for contactless payments".
with an immediately understandable and more appropriate warning:
“ERROR
This card cannot be added to your Garmin device because your bank does not currently have a commercial agreement with the Garmin Pay contactless payment platform”.
??
Given all this, I must assume that requesting an agreement between Garmin Pay and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena here is inappropriate, given the high level of this type of commercial relationship. Am I right?
