If you are not able to activate your card, verify your card on Apple Pay wallet or asked to contact issuer when calling Shakepay, please try these steps:

  • Make sure you are calling from the same phone number as listed on your Shakepay account.

  • If your phone number appears as a private caller ID, you will need to temporarily "show your phone number" to activate the card. Our system activates the card based on the number you are calling from.
