UK Pay!

[Kellyx]

I bought the versa instead of the new Samsung watch, but I can't seem to get my bank card to work with it. I have great credit and a good job, android and Google pay work fine from my phone though this isn't working.is there an app I can use?

Is your bank a supported bank?

Supported Banks

What tyoevof error do you receive @Kellyx?

[Sparkles872]

I was annoyed at this too. Majority of UK banks aren't supported by Fitbit Pay. Sucks a bit. Nothing to do with credit etc just geared to the US market.

[Rich_Laue]

There are plenty of non US banks, but each bank has to be setup individually with Fitbit since every transaction goes to your bank and checked with Fitbit.

[Sparkles872]

There are 4 UK banks listed. And of them, the only mainstream one is Danske. Poor show from Fitbit for one of their larger sales markets. GooglePay, ApplePay and whoever else don't seem to have an issue getting banks signed up, so why does Fitbit?

[Rich_Laue]

It just means the banks haven't gotten on board yet, who's fault is that?

I'm not sure what it takes for a bank to link up, but we do have a few Fitbit users in the community that work in the department of their bank that only handles Fitbit pay transactions.

What ever is required, some banks have hired people to strickly be only responsible in make ng sure that Fitbit pay works.

It sounds like it might be more then simply turning a switch.

I'm not blaming Fitbit or the bank, I'm simply saying that with as many banks their are in the world, and each bank needing to hook up individually it could take time.

Also we are still not to the point where every credit card can be used in every country.

[Kellyx]

Not as of yet (Bank of Scotland) was wondering if there was a way around
it, third party app etc?

[Rich_Laue]

@Kellyx I don't understand your question?

When setting up Fitbit pay, the bank, with the help of Fitbit assigns, a virtual credit card to the Versa.

"looks like we don't support this card for fitbit pay"

Is this tye response that you received from your bank or from Fitbit @Kellyx

If from Fitbit, it simply means the bank has not gotten on board yet? If from the bank, I would encourage them to reach out to Fitbit.

[Kellyx]

>From fitbit yeah, is there a third party app I can use to be able to use
android pay or Google pay?

[Rich_Laue]

Sure they are called Andoid and Google Pay, you use them with the phone. 

[Kellyx]

I'm asking if there's a way to use them on the versa. I know how to use it
on my phone.

[Rich_Laue]

With Samsung, Google, and Android pay, the banks assign a virtual card to each device. This card can only be used with the one device.

Therefore no third party app will be able to work.
