“Pre-activation Apple Wallet access” refers to a feature that allows customers to digitally provision their card into Apple Wallet immediately upon issuance by the bank (once cards are displayed on the mobile banking), without waiting for the physical card to arrive to the customer or activated which means:
- Instant usage through Apple Pay: Customers can begin using their card for contactless payments, online purchases, and in-app transactions for applications that support Apple Pay as soon as it’s issued.
- No dependency on physical delivery: The digital card becomes active and functional even before the physical card is received or activated.
- Secure and seamless onboarding: This enhances customer experience by enabling immediate access while maintaining the security standards of Apple Pay.
