Garmin Pay - Maestro debitcard - Empty CVC code not possible.

I am currently experiencing the following issue.

I am trying to set up Garmin Pay through Garmin Connect. My ultimate goal is to be able to make payments using my new Fenix 8.

I have an ABN AMRO debit card, which is a Maestro card.

According to both the Garmin website and the ABN AMRO Wearables website (links included below), the CVC field should be left blank when adding a Maestro card to Garmin Pay.

However, leaving this field blank is not possible, because Garmin Connect treats the CVC field as a mandatory field.

Is it possible to ?

  • Change this mandatory field to an optional field in Garmin Connect, or
  • Provide me with instructions on how to successfully link my Maestro card to Garmin Pay?

I have already created a tickets with Garmin Support and suplied evidence and logfile etc, but i do not know what the status is from my ticket.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Niek Bruggeman
