Use your card for the first time

Get started with your Mynt card and make your first purchase.

Once your accounting integration is connected, your account has funds, and your card has been created, you're ready to make your first purchase.

Start using Apple Pay or Google Pay right away

As soon as your card has been created, it can be used for digital purchases.

Add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay and use it for:

  • Online purchases

  • In-app purchases

  • Payments in physical stores using your phone or smartwatch

Both physical and virtual cards work with Apple Pay and Google Pay immediately – you don't need to make a chip and PIN purchase first.

Learn how to add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay in our guide.

Your first purchase with a physical card

Once you've received your physical card, the first purchase in a physical store must be completed using chip and PIN.

  1. Insert the card into the payment terminal.

  2. Enter your PIN.

  3. Complete the purchase.

This only applies the first time the physical card is used in a store.

After your first purchase, you can:

  • Pay contactlessly with your physical card.

  • Pay using chip and PIN.

  • Use Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Find your PIN

You can find your PIN in the Mynt app under:

My Cards → Card settings → Show PIN

Submit your receipt

After you've made a purchase, you'll receive a notification in the Mynt app.

From there, you can:

  1. Take a photo of your receipt.

  2. Select a category for the purchase.

  3. Tap Submit.

Once you've done this, your purchase is ready for accounting.

Virtual cards

Virtual cards can be used for:

  • Online purchases

  • In-app purchases

  • Payments with Apple Pay or Google Pay

Virtual cards do not have their own PIN and cannot be inserted into a payment terminal.

Some online merchants may ask you to verify your purchase with BankID.
