What is Garmin Pay?

Using Garmin Pay to make a payment with your NAB Visa card is a secure, convenient way to make contactless purchases on the go, right from your wrist.

With more than 15 preloaded sports apps, finding a fun way to stay active is easy. Hit the golf course, go for a bike ride, take a yoga class, or even try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding. vívoactive 3 is Garmin's first wearable to feature Garmin Pay, which lets you pay for purchases with your watch.

Use it just about anywhere you can tap your card to pay. So, if you left your wallet in your locker or just forgot it, that post-run morning latte can still be yours. Just tap and go.

You’ll continue to receive all of the same benefits and rewards your eligible NAB Visa card offers when you pay with Garmin Pay.

How to make a purchase

When you first set up your Garmin you’re prompted to set up a Garmin device code and then you'll be asked to enter this device code daily. 

This code must be set up before you can enrol NAB Visa cards in the Garmin app. When selecting device codes please choose something different from your NAB card PIN or other banking passcodes. Never share your Garmin device with anyone else to help avoid unauthorised use of your NAB Visa cards.

Once you’ve entered your Garmin device code for the day, you won’t always need to enter your card PIN for purchases of $100 or more. It will depend if the merchant has a compatible terminal.

If prompted by the payment terminal for a PIN code, enter the PIN for your NAB Visa card (not your Garmin device code).

Your NAB Visa card should be the active card on your Garmin App and Garmin device for payments to be made using the NAB Visa card. 

For information on how to make your NAB Visa card the active card, please refer to Garmin Pay FAQs, opens in new window
