Pay with Apple Pay and a UBS Credit Card

You can make contactless payments worldwide with an iPhone, Apple Watch or Mac and a UBS Credit or Prepaid Card. Here you will find everything you need to know.

Apple Pay offers an easy, secure, and private way to pay on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac without a physical card or cash.

All UBS Credit and Prepaid Cards for private and corporate clients from Mastercard and Visa are supported.

The maximum amount per transaction depends on the card limit of the chosen card.

Apple Pay will remain active for 60 seconds, allowing you time to complete your transaction.

No. The same conditions apply as those set out in the General Terms and Conditions for the use of UBS Credit Cards or UBS Prepaid Cards. You can find this information here:

Overview of UBS Credit Cards and Prepaid Cards

Please note that charges may be incurred for data transmission in accordance with the contract with your mobile phone provider.

Yes, you can. A UBS Credit or Prepaid Card can be used with several payment solutions at the same time. It is also possible to register several UBS Credit or Prepaid Cards on your iPhone.

In this case, please contact our customer service hotline (+41 44 828 39 61, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year) to remove your UBS Credit or Prepaid Card from Apple Pay. If you use the UBS Mobile Banking App, you must also block it.

However, no credit card details are stored on your iPhone. Therefore you do not need to block the credit or prepaid cards themselves and can continue to pay with them.

The duties of care set out in the Special Terms and Conditions for the Use of Your UBS Credit or Prepaid Card for Mobile Payment Solutions otherwise apply, as do the General Terms and Conditions for the Use of UBS Credit Cards or UBS Prepaid Cards and the basic provisions for UBS Digital Banking (Mobile Banking: “Menu > Settings > Info & legal aspects”).

  • Special provisions on the use of a UBS Credit or Prepaid Card for mobile payment solutions
  • Basic provision for UBS Digital Banking

If your UBS Credit or Prepaid Card is lost or stolen, you must have it blocked immediately in UBS E-Banking or in the Mobile Banking App.

If you suspect criminal activity, you must report it immediately to the local police in Switzerland or abroad. The duties of care set out in the General Terms and Conditions for the use of UBS Credit Cards or UBS Prepaid Cards otherwise apply.

UBS will issue a replacement card for each blocked card. The data on the new cards will automatically be linked to the Apple Pay.

If you do not want the card to be linked automatically, please inform our Customer Service.

You can delete the link between your cards and Apple Pay in the Apple Wallet app. The physical cards remain fully functional.

In the Apple Wallet app, tap the card you want to delete. Press the icon with the 3 dots on it, scroll down and tap “Remove this card.”

To remove a card that you use on your Apple Watch, open the Watch app on your iPhone, go to the “My watch” tab, scroll down, tap “Wallet & Apple Pay,” tap the card, then scroll down and tap “Remove this card.”

Or tap “Wallet” on the home screen of your Apple Watch, tap a card, press it firmly, and tap “Delete.”

The UBS Credit or Prepaid Card will only be deleted in the Apple Wallet app and remains functional in other payment solutions.

If you have any questions about Apple Pay and your registered UBS Credit or Prepaid Cards, please contact our Customer Service on +41 44 828 39 61.

If your existing card has been replaced due to expiry or damage, we will automatically link the new card to the Apple Wallet app. You can therefore continue to use Apple Pay without any restrictions.

If you change the card product, you must register the card again in the Apple Wallet app. The previous card will automatically be deleted from the Apple Wallet app.

Yes, you can change the default payment method at any time in your iPhone settings.
