Activation of a physical card
Card activation is available in the “Card settings” section on the main screen of the app. You just have to press the “Unfreeze” button.
After that, the card may not work during the first contactless payment, so you need to follow these steps:
- Insert the card into the terminal.
- Enter the PIN code.
- The payment should go through, and all subsequent transactions will be made contactless.
Alternatively, you can make any ATM transaction with your card after activating it in the app. This can also be considered activation for further contactless payment.
Until the card is activated, it is considered inactive, and there are no functions on it (e.g., PIN change or block/unblock availability, etc.).
After activating the card in the WhiteBIT app, you can add it to your Google or Apple Pay wallet and make contactless payments via NFC without waiting for physical delivery.
