We connect with you by offering a new way to pay for purchases.
Metairie Bank and Apple have partnered together to offer Apple Pay for your shopping convenience through your Metairie Bank MasterCard® Debit card. Apple Pay* is a contactless payment method using your compatible Apple devices that is secure and easy to use with just the simple touch of your finger.
How to Enroll
Open your “Wallet” app and tap the plus sign. You can either choose to scan the information off your card or you can choose “Enter Card Details Manually.” Next, you’ll be given a customer service phone number to call for verification. After you answer a few simple questions, you’ll be ready to use your Metairie Bank Debit Card in Apple Pay!
In-Store Purchase
Many businesses that you already visit are accepting Apple Pay. Look for the Apple Pay mark or contactless symbol at checkout. When it’s time to pay, unlock your phone and hover it over the payment terminal. Your default card will pop up with the option to use Touch ID or your Passcode for verification. You’ll never have to reveal your name, card number, or security code to the cashier.
In-App Purchase
When making purchases within apps that accept Apple Pay, there is no need to find your debit card and enter the information each time. Your billing and shipping information can be saved for a quick and easy checkout all on your iPhone or iPad.

A vendor that accepts Apple Pay will have one or both of these symbols posted at checkout.
Apple Pay Symbol
Contactless Payment Symbol
iPhone: Unlock your phone and hover it over the contactless card reader. Your default card will pop up and you can either use your Touch ID (fingerprint) or your Passcode to approve the transaction.
Apple Watch: Double-click the side button, swipe to choose a card, then hold Apple Watch within a few centimeters of the contactless card reader, with the display facing the reader. A gentle tap and beep confirm that the payment information was sent.
The most common reason for this error message is an incorrect Address Verification. In order to verify your debit card, Apple will compare the address connected to your Apple ID with the address on file with Metairie Bank.
First, make sure your address with Metairie Bank is up-to-date. Then, update your address with Apple. You can do this by going to Settings > iCloud > tap on your name/email > Contact Information > Update your Primary Address.
