How to add Barclays to Garmin Pay
Although Barclays does not currently support Garmin Pay directly, you can easily use Barclays debit and credit cards with Garmin Pay using a Curve Wallet. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up and is completely free.This is the Garmin Pay hack everyone needs to know. Garmin Pay is only compatible with a very limited number of cards in the UK– one of which is a Curve card. The thing is... Curve is not a normal card. Because it's not a bank. Or a credit card. It's a mobile wallet that creates a single card you can use for all your accounts So while a Curve card has 16 digits, a PIN number, CVV and expiry date, it operates as your whole wallet. So when you had your Curve card details to Garmin Pay, you unlock Garmin Pay compatibility for every card in your wallet.
