Troubleshooting

Can’t see the option of adding Google Pay?
Try closing and re-opning the app or reinstalling it.

Can’t add the card?

@Hannah

Hey guys, you will need your country’s specific BIN to add your card. If you have one already, you should be able to add your card to Google Pay via the Curve app. If not, you can get in touch with our support team and they can reissue the correct BIN that matches your country.

Also, if you’ve added it but can’t get contactless to work then get in touch with our team so they can take a look at your account and see what the issue is!

Missing verification SMS?
Please double check that your phone number on your Curve profile is correct. If it needs updating, you can contact support to have them update it for you. You can reach them in-app, via support@curve.app, or DM on Twitter/Facebook. They’ll need your year of birth, flat/house number and postcode, and old and new number to update your info

Couple months before Apple Pay then? Cool!

How do I my Card without a CVC Number?

Congrats on the launch!

Many users from all around Europe are able to add Curve to Google Pay, yet you say it’s available only for UK customers. Why is that?

[Lucas]

If your card starts with 5375 9000, then GPay works.
If it starts with 5375 9020, then it doesnt. 9020 cards are sent to German users for example.

Your Curve Card does have a CVC number. It’s printed very small on the grey background next to the signature field.

Worked great and I’m not a UK customer. Just paid with it using Gpay in Sweden and the underlying card was Swedish.

Cool, but stupid google did not yet launched gpay support in Latvia. I dont know why they delaying it. Infrastructure is ready to support it. Almost everywhere there are contactless POS.

[Dealcocero]

But why it has been launched only in UK in a general context? Why not in the rest of Europe? Spain, Italy, Germany…

What’s the reason or when will be launched for others as well? @Curve_Marie

Then your card might not be Visa/Master Card. It might be Mastro/V-pay

[dgrandhay]

It will be launched “soon”, like every features…
(insert sarcasm here)

[mattjj83]

I have the Curve Blue MasterCard. But when you scan it to use Google pay it asks for CVC

[Mattia]

Great! Now we look forward to Apple Pay with anxiety

[TheFlyingman]

You can find the CVC number right to the Signature field.

It is not printed but imprinted so it may not be visible.

If you do not see it, put a piece of paper over back side of your card, take a pencil and slightly (with no pressure) “color” the signature field. This may help to show the CVC number.

Looks like Google Pay is almost here too! Although the SMS never arrived awaiting official announcement…

[kylo32]

I’ve received code and card is added to GPay. I will check tomorrow how it works

[JohnB]

I’ve just made my first contactless Google Pay transaction with my Curve card. Good job too because Samsung Pay won’t send me the code to activate the card.

[TR1]

Thanks! Email sent

[Lucas]

Great news!
GPay not working for me yet, but maybe because I’m from Germany
