        Smart device security


        Payments with a phone, watch or other smart device are always linked to your card. All Íslandsbanki cards are issued in cooperation with Mastercard. Contactless payments with smart devices are also developed in collaboration with Mastercard and follow strict security measures required by the company.

        A security token is created and used by the smart device once a card is activated for contactless payments. The actual card number is not used for payment, which increases security.

        You must use the appropriate security settings to unlock your phone, e.g., PIN number or fingerprint if you want to use your phone as a payment method. The same applies to other payment devices such as Garmin and Fitbit where you must adhere to the security measures required for authentication and payment confirmation.

        Access to your smart device now means access to your card, so please ensure that you keep it safe and secure from others.
