Mobile payments are safe, but it's important to keep your payment apps secure. You can do this by setting a pin for your devices and help prevent fraud.

If you want to securely add your Investec card to your Apple, Samsung or GPay (formerly Google Pay) follow these steps:

  • Log into the Investec App
  • Go to Cards and the Manage
  • Tap Add to Wallet
  • Or you can contact the Client Support Centre call to verify your card and enable payments
  • We will never send you a one-time pin (OTP) to verify when you want to add a card.

NOTE: Garmin Pay – please add your Investec card from the Garmin app, detailed device instructions below.

 

Make payments on the go

When you make a payment, your usual security measures will be activated. You might need to enter your Investec card pin, especially for larger amounts.
 

What happens if your device is stolen or lost?

If your device is stolen or lost, you must stop access to the device. You can continue to use your card.

If your card is stolen, you need to stop your card but can continue to transact on your device.
