Tangerine this morning has launched client card support for Apple Pay,
now allowing debit cards to be used with Apple’s mobile wallet. The bank sent out notifications to customers this morning.
Previously, only Tangerine MasterCard credit cards were supported for Apple Pay. The addition of debit card support comes over 11 months after Apple Pay was first launched last August. PC Financial launched credit card support for Apple Pay at the same time, but they have not added debit card support yet.
Tangerine customers are being told to update to the latest version of the Tangerine Mobile Banking app to ensure they can verify Apple Pay for debit. Another verification method is by phone call.
Back in May, we told you how Apple’s support document for Apple Pay briefly mentioned Interac debit card support for Tangerine, but was shortly taken down after. Guess that came true after all.
Let us know how Apple Pay is working with your Tangerine debit card!
Thanks Brandon & David

And of course Presidents Choice lags behind again.
I know right, as well as capitol one here, but thats because Costco Canada sucks.
It’s a bit buggy to set up, but I got it set up after a few attempts.
I just tried and it failed.
It did work after a few more attempts.
Just tried and still not working =(
nevermind. after several tries, it worked!
It works! Needed to tap “verify” in the Tangerine app mutiple times before it worked (kept giving me an error meaaage). Persistence pays off! I suggest if anyone if having trouble to try restarting the Tangerine app and trying the “verify” button again until it works.
Took several attempts, as well but got it on both my phone and watch
Took two attempts but it worked. I am guessing everyone is trying and bogging down the servers atm.
Buggy indeed. Took 5 times.
Took a few tries (both in Wallet and for the verification in the Tangerine app) but I was able to add the debit card to my phone and watch. I don’t use debit often but the girlfriend does so she’ll be happy about it.
I finally got as far as trying to verify via the Tangerine app, but it keeps failing again and again and again.
Cannot get it to work
Tried several times and nothing.
FINALLY!
I had to tap the Verify button about 80 times to make it finally verified…
not worth the trouble
wish PC did this, only have my CIBC debit on my phone/watch
anyone on the latest iOS 11 beta able to add the card?
