Use Your Gundersen Debit Card With Mobile Pay Apps

Now Offering Mobile Pay.jpg

Turn your phone into your secure wallet

Add your Gundersen Debit Cards to any of these Mobile Wallet Apps: Apple Pay®, Google Pay, and Samsung. For a faster, more convenient, more secure way to pay.

What is Mobile Wallet?

A mobile wallet is a way to carry your credit card or debit card information digitally on your enabled smartphone. Instead of using your physical plastic card to make purchases, you can simply tap-and-pay.

Simple Setup

Many phones come with a preferred Wallet App preloaded. If you do not find one, visit your phone’s App Store to install one. 

  1. Once installed, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.

  2. Use your camera to add your Gundersen Debit Card, and go through the authentication process.

  3. You may be required to call our Mobile Pay service center to complete your card set-up before you are able to pay with your card.

Easy to Use

Look for the contactless symbol wherever you shop. To use your Gundersen Debit Card, simply unlock your device, authenticate the transaction with your fingerprint, iris, or PIN, and hold it near the terminal to pay.
