The Apple Pay support in transit systems of major cities in the world has made the life of iPhone users easy. Now users can add their bank card to their Apple Wallet and quickly press the side button twice to authorize a transit payment through NFC.
While using the Apple Wallet to authorize payments is convenient, the added requirement for Face ID scan or passcode input can be annoying to some users.
To make your life easier iOS now has a feature called Express Transit Card, which allows users to quickly bring up their preferred bank card in Apple Wallet and perform a transit payment without Face ID or Passcode.
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can make your daily commute easier by removing the need for a Face ID scan before performing a transit transaction.
- Open Settings and go to Wallet & Apple Pay.
- On the next page scroll down and tap on the ‘Express Transit Card‘ option.
- Next, select your desired card and authenticate with Face ID.
That’s it. Now iOS will set your selected card as your Express Transit card, allowing you to make transit payments more easily.
You can hold your iPhone near a supported transit reader and the iPhone will authenticate payments. This card will also be available when your iPhone is low on power and needs charging.
