FAQ
Is mobile payment secure?
Yes. When you make a purchase, Google Pay and Apple Pay use a device-specific number. Your physical card number is never stored on your device.
To use mobile payment, your device must be passcode-protected (pattern, password or fingerprint).
Your Desjardins card purchases through Google Pay are protected by the Visa* Zero Liability, Mastercard Zero Liability Protection and Interac® Zero Liability policies. With these protections, you won't be held responsible for any fraudulent transactions made with your mobile device.
I’ve added my card to mobile payment, but now I see an unbilled authorized transaction of $0 on AccèsD. Why?
When you add a card to Google Pay or Apple Pay, a small amount of up to $2 appears temporarily in your card account’s list of unbilled authorized transactions on AccèsD. The only purpose of this authorized amount is to validate your card. This amount will never be charged, and the authorization will disappear within 5 to 7 business days.
How do I set up my default card?
The first card added is automatically set up as your default card.
However, you can change your default card:
- In the Google Wallet app
- In the Wallet app, or in your Apple device's settings by selecting Wallet and Apple Pay
Can I add the same card on several mobile devices?
Yes. For each mobile device it's added to, the card will have to undergo the same verification process. You can also add several cards to Google Pay or Apple Pay.
Are there fees associated with using mobile payment?
No. There are no additional fees associated with using Google Pay or Apple Pay. For billing purposes, mobile payment transactions are considered to be the same as card transactions.
Do I still get cash back or BONUSDOLLARS rewards when I use mobile payment?
Yes. If the card you're using for mobile payment offers cash back or BONUSDOLLARS® rewards, you'll continue to accumulate them.
Why is the number that appears on my transaction receipt different than my actual card number?
When you sign up for mobile payment, a card number specific to your mobile device and different from your physical card is created. That number appears on your transaction receipts. This way, merchants won't know your card number.
What should I do when my card expires?
Credit card
Your card will be automatically replaced in Google Pay or Apple Pay. So you don't have to do anything.
Debit card
You must add your new Desjardins Access Card (debit card) to Google Pay or Apple Pay.
What should I do if I change cards?
If the card number changes, you must add your new card to Google Pay or Apple Pay.
