How do I add my card to Apple Pay or Google Pay?

All Halocard virtual cards are compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay and can be added to your mobile wallet when they're in an active and unlocked state.


If you get the error "Could Not Add Card" or "Contact Card Issuer" when trying to add a Halocard to your iPhone or Android device, it is usually because you made too many attempts to add cards to your mobile wallet and Apple or Google have placed a temporary restriction on your account. You usually just need to wait 24 - 48 hours before trying again. Apple and Google's policies usually allow adding up to 5 cards every 24 hours or 10 cards every 90 days .
