Garmin pay says my card/bank is not supported but my bank (ANZ) assures me they are

Former Member over 5 years ago

ANZ advertises the fact they support Garmin pay and when speaking to them say my card should work. Yet the Garmin app says otherwise. Why is there this disconnect between the two? How do I upload my card and get it to work for contactless payment?

Are you in Australia? We don't appear to have it in New Zealand.

I’m in NZ. I wondered this but then the person I talked to someone from ANZ on the phone and they seemed to think it’d work. But then again I don’t think they actually knew much about Garmins

I'm in NZ too and when trying to set up Garmin Pay ( sometime around Nov 2020) with my ANZ account it didn't work either. I called ANZ and the person on the phone said they didn't have the service available in NZ yet , despite this being something that clients call asking about.

It doesn't work with ANZ. you should open an account with ASB. I tried. works just fine.

There is a page that lists participating banks. Start by checking there.

Garmin does NOT support ANZ cards in NZ. So frustrating! ANZ need to update https://mobilepayments.anz.com/garmin-pay/ to specify that ANZ support is for AU only, not NZ :(. Need to check on https://www.garmin.com/en-US/garminpay/banks/

Don't worry Bro. Just open an account with ASB. easy as. works great!

Have a look at Curve - https://www.curve.com

Garmin Pay support: Curve - Garmin Pay

NZD is "supported currency": Curve - What do you mean by 'supported currencies'?

Alternatives - new card - Wise or Revolut - small fee for physical card, virtual cards are free

How do you install Curve on a Garmin watch? I cannot see it in Connect IQ for my Fenix 6 (in NZ)

You don't have to install Curve on a watch - simply add the Curve card to the Garmin Pay.
