What’s new with MyState Visa Debit and Apple Pay? #

MyState Visa Debit Cardholders are now able to choose their preferred payment network – either Visa or eftpos. This change allows you to choose networks when you set up Apple Pay or when you make a purchase. If you already have Apple Pay set up you’ll have to delete your card from your Apple Pay wallet and complete the provisioning process again to use this feature.

What’s the difference between choosing Visa or eftpos? #

Any transactions with Visa (your default network) will temporarily sit as a pending transaction on your account until cleared, but if you choose eftpos your transactions go through in near real time. A Visa transaction can take several days to clear, whereas eftpos will be settled on the day you make the payment. Choosing eftpos will also allow you to use Apple Pay cash out, but remember only a select group of merchants will offer Apple cash out so please ask first.

If you don’t mind whether you pay by Visa or eftpos you don’t need to do anything, just set up Apple Pay and enjoy the all the benefits!
