If you are trying to add your card to your Google/Apple Pay Wallet and are receiving error messages or having issues with this, there could be a few reasons as to why this isn’t working for you.

A few of these reasons could be;

  1. You’ve reached your wallet card limit.

  2. You previously added your card and removed it, and are now trying to re-add it.

We would recommend checking each of these below for possible solutions!

Wallet Card Limit

Apple and Google Pay have their own limit set for how many cards can be added to your Wallet. There is an 8 card maximum. This means the same card cannot be added to more than 8 devices for security reasons( Mobile phones, Smart watches etc).

❗️ Please do check that you do not have more than the limit set, as this will stop your Ben card from being added successfully. If you have, you would need to remove an existing card in order to allow space for your Ben card to be added.

Previously added/removed Card

If you had your Ben card previously added to your Apple/Google Wallet and you had this removed in order to try and re-add this, this can cause issues as all of the card data stored was not fully removed. Therefore when trying to add your card again, it results in an error message.

If you experience this issue, please do reach out to us via chat 👉 as we would need to contact our card partner directly in order to have this reset for you.

This would then enable your card to be added again!

Please note ❗️ Ben cards are unfortunately not compatible with Samsung Wallets at this time, so will not be able to be added on these devices!

If you have tried following the solutions above for adding your Ben card to your Wallet and are still experiencing issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team and we'd be happy to help.
