Can I add an FSA card to my mobile wallet?

Many may wonder if FSA debit cards work within iPhone and Android mobile wallets. In fact, the answer is yes, you can add your FSA card into either an Apple or Google mobile wallet to enable "FSA Apple Pay" and "FSA Google Pay." This will make purchases that much easier with one-click payments on BuyFSA.com.

What is an FSA debit card?

The FSA debit card is not so different than other credit and debit cards out there. The FSA card is effectively a souped up pre-paid gift card that has an intelligent way of checking for eligible products and services when transacted at any point-of-sale terminal or online seller. The cards are typically issued on the Visa and Mastercard network which allows them to be added for Apple Pay (Apple Wallet) and Google Pay (Google Wallet).

When it comes to making a purchase with your Apple Pay, you need to first make sure you're visiting a store that accepts FSA cards such as BuyFSA.com. Not only that, you'll want to make sure all of the products in your shopping cart are FSA-approved (enter in BuyFSA, CHECK!)

At checkout, BuyFSA.com offers the option to use FSA cards connected to Apple Pay and Google Pay and upon selecting either option, you'll simply need to tap once to complete your order and be on your way.
