Almost all bank cards today are linked to the owner's phone - either to his number or to the device itself. This allows you to track transactions, use a mobile application and even make payments using a gadget.
Usually, the phone number is linked to the card at the registration stage. Or the bank employees help to carry out the procedure after the payment instrument is issued to the client. But if for some reason this was not done, it is worth doing the linking yourself. At least for security purposes. Therefore, let's talk about how to link a card to a phone and why it is important to do this as quickly as possible.
What does linking a card mean?
In fact, information is sent to the bank that the card is qatar mobile database linked to a specific phone number. This allows you to:
Install the bank's application and gain access to remote services, including opening deposits and savings accounts, reissuing and blocking cards, currency exchange, transfers and much more, including applying for a loan.
Receive notifications about any transactions with your account – sometimes this requires connecting the relevant services.
Pay for purchases with your phone – in this case, you won’t need the “plastic”, so you won’t have to carry it with you all the time.
Specific options depend on the user’s device. If we are talking about an old push-button phone, the card owner can usually only receive notifications about account transactions in SMS messages.
Smartphone owners have the opportunity to install mobile applications and use remote banking services. But if you have an NFC module and a suitable payment system, you can also pay for purchases with your phone. For example, using the Mir Pay application. Contactless payment is also possible through the SBPey service - in this case, you only need to point the phone camera at the QR code and confirm the payment. The NFC module is not involved in this process.
