I Don't See the "Add to Wallet" Button

• Make sure you have Wallet installed.
• If you have an older phone, it may not be NFC compatible so the credential cannot be added to the wallet. You will want to get a physical Wildcard.

Using Mobile ID on iPhone

The iPhone or Apple Watch must be powered on, but it does not have to be connected to a network.

On an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, double-clicking the Home button, tapping the default payment card and selecting the mobile Wildcard are needed to enable usage. Then, authenticating with Touch ID and holding the top of iPhone 6 or 6 Plus near the contactless reader will complete a transaction.

For iPhones 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and later, Express Mode allows use of the mobile Wildcard without unlocking the device with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Through iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Express Mode with power reserve makes the mobile Wildcard available for up to five hours after the device’s battery needs to be charged.

Accessing Your Account

• Why can’t I double-tap the side button with my phone locked to see my balances in Apple Pay?

  When using Express Mode (iPhone 6s or later), your Wildcard will not be displayed with other cards in Apple Wallet for security reasons.

• Can I use Mobile ID if my phone’s battery is dead?

  Wildcat passwords are used with a Wildcat account.

  If you have any of the iPhone XS, XS Max or XR models, yes. Express Mode with power reserve is available for up to five hours when your phone needs to be charged. Android phones and other iPhone models (iPhone 8 and earlier) do not offer this feature.
