Adding your card to your digital wallet

Your digital Police Bank card works anywhere that your physical card does – you just need to tap your phone or mobile device to the terminal and, depending on your security settings, authorise your payment.

Digital cards are generally very safe because they use ‘tokenisation’. This means that instead of storing your sensitive card details on your phone, your digital wallet uses a randomly generated sequence of numbers (known as a ‘token’) to process each payment.

Your real card details will never be shared with a merchant when using a digital card.

Digital wallets also come with a range of additional security features such as asking you for biometric verification for each transaction – so even if someone steals your phone, they may not be able to use it to make payments.
