How to enable NFC in Honor's phones​

Before using contactless payment, you need to activate the NFS. This feature is disabled by default.

To enable the module, you need:

1. Go to the settings menu.
2. Select "Other connections".
3. Click on the " NFC " tab.
4. Switch the slider to active mode.

After completing these steps, an icon in the form of the letter "N" will appear at the top right. It is located where the network signal and the battery level of the smartphone are displayed.

You can set up the NFS manually if this feature is not available on Honor's phone. To do this, use tags or antennas with NFC technology. Before installing, make sure that the module is compatible with your phone.

Some models are not suitable for all devices with NFS. Another option is to buy a SIM card with a built-in module. Ask your carrier if you already have such a SIM card.

On a note! The built-in module allows you not only to make payments in a contactless way. Users can also transfer files from one device to another. The main thing is that the second smartphone also has this function.

After enabling the NFS, you can use contactless payment from Honor's mobile phone. However, you will need to install the payment app first. This program is used for debiting money from your bank card.

Which payment system to choose​

Two payment programs are available for Honor users:

• Google Pay. The app works on Android phones. Including on Honor smartphones. This is an electronic wallet that is designed for contactless payment. Money is debited from the card that the user will link in the program.
• Huawei Pay. This is a mobile payment system that allows you to pay without using a physical bank card.

Google Pay is a more advanced version. You can link any bank card here without restrictions. For this reason, many users choose this particular app.

Installing and configuring the Google Pay app​

On many Honor smartphones, the payment program is installed by default. If you don't have such an app, you can download it.

1. Go to the Play Market or Google Play.
2. Enter the program name in the search.
3. Click "Find".
4. Find Google Pay in the list that appears. The software developer must be an official Google LLC company.
5. Go to the app page.
6. Select "Install".
7. We are waiting for the successful installation of the program.

The next step is configuration. For contactless payments from Honor's mobile phone, you need to link your bank card.

To perform this operation, you need to:

1. Open Google Pay.
2. Go to the "Payment" tab. It is located at the bottom.
3. Select "Add Map".
4. Enter your bank card details. This can be done manually. Or by scanning the map using the camera on your phone. You can add credit and debit cards to the app.
5. Enter the CVC code. It is located on the reverse side of the plastic.
6. Confirm the name and address that the card is linked to.
7. Read the terms of use of Yandex. Plastic through the payment app and accept them.
8. Link your bank card by entering the code from the SMS.

At the end, the bank card will be displayed on the Google Pay screen. This means that the plastic was successfully added.

Setting up Huawei Pay​

Huawei Pay wallet is also supported on Honor mobile devices. You can also use it to make contactless payments.

How to link your bank card in Huawei Pay:

2. Installing the wallet on your phone.
3. We are going through authorization. This requires a profile in Huawei. If it doesn't exist, then create it.
4. Go to the program.
5. Click on the plus sign icon. It is located at the top right.
6. Go to the "Bank cards" tab.
7. The camera opens. You need it for scanning plastic. So we hover the card so that the camera captures the entire map. If you can't pass identification in this way, then enter the banking details manually.
8. We confirm that the card is linked. Enter the code in an empty field that will be sent to your phone number.

You can find out which banks Huawei Pay works with directly in the program. To do this, open the "Bank Cards" section and go to the "Supported Banks" tab. Several Russian banking institutions will be represented here. So far, the list is small. For this reason, users choose Google Pay.

Reasons why it is often not possible to link a card in Huawei Pei:

• yandex. Plastic details are specified incorrectly;
• your wallet doesn't support your bank;
• an old software version is installed – an update is required;
• a system failure in the program is a temporary problem that can be solved without user intervention.
