Using Apple Pay with your Apple mobile device to make purchases gives you convenience, security, and a buffer against fraud. Use it in stores and restaurants with no need to swipe your credit or debit card. Or use it to make secure in-app purchases without entering your sensitive information. Just pay with the single touch of your finger using Touch ID or Face ID on your Apple device. You can use Apple Pay and your Community Powered Visa Card at millions of stores, restaurants, and participating apps.
Apple Pay assigns and encrypts a unique device account number to your card and stores it securely in a dedicated chip. It’s the ultimate in privacy, too, as your card number is never seen by merchants or transmitted with your payment. This unique device number can be interpreted only by Community Powered, meaning this information is not readable, usable, or understandable by anyone other than Community Powered.

Google Pay
Now the things you love about your Community Powered Visa® and Debit card are right on your Android™ phone with Google Pay! Fast, simple checkout. One spot for purchases, passes, and payment methods. Google Pay makes paying safer and easier for everyone, everywhere.
Google Pay’s new Home tab gives you the info you need, right when you need it. See your recent purchases, find nearby stores, enjoy easy access to rewards, and get helpful tips.
The Cards tab is an easy way to keep everything you need at checkout organized and at the ready. It’s where you’ll store your credit and debit cards, loyalty programs, offers, and even that stack of gift cards from last year’s birthday.
Like all Google products, Google Pay comes with strong security protections to safeguard your account and personal data from security threats. In other words, it’s got your back.
If you’ve been a longtime Android Pay fan, fear not: the features you love aren’t going away. You’ll get all of the Credit Union’s standard protections, plus an extra layer of security, since Google Pay doesn’t share your actual card number when you pay in stores. Online, you know those cumbersome payment forms that seem to take forever to fill out? Just choose Google Pay at checkout, and pay with a few quick clicks instead.
- Open the Google Pay App or download and install it from Google Play.
- Click on the plus sign to link an existing card you have in Google Play, or add a new card by taking a picture of it or entering it manually.
- Confirm card details
- Accept the terms and conditions
- Validate the card by following the instructions on your phone; in a few minutes your card will be active
