Mobile Wallets

Greater Iowa Credit Union credit and debit card holders can now utilize Apple PayTM, Google PayTM, and Samsung PayTM! Use your mobile device for payment wherever mobile payment is accepted; just look for the icons at checkout. With mobile payment, a unique number is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored instead of using your actual credit or debit card numbers. This way, your actual card numbers are never shared with merchants or transmitted with payment.
