Is Your Watch Ready?

Our app works with a wide range of smartwatches. Let's start by finding out which watch you have.

What type of watch do you have?

To see if your Apple Watch works with our app:

  1. Make sure your watch is running OS 11 or later.
  2. Check that your iPhone is an Xs or newer with iOS 18. Once that's set, you're ready to go!

Check if your watch is compatible:

  • Your watch must run Wear OS 11 or later (the operating system for most Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and similar watches).
  • If your watch is from Fitbit, Garmin, or another brand that doesn't use Wear OS, it won't work with the Watch app.
  • To confirm your version: open your watch settings → About → Software Version.

FAQs

No. Garmin and Fitbit use their own operating systems, so they aren't compatible with our Watch App.

No. The Watch App is exclusively for Central Bank customers. To get started, you’ll need a Central Bank account and our Mobile Banking App.

Yes. The Watch App is view-only – apart from card lock/unlock, no transactions can be made. Account numbers are never displayed (only nicknames appear). To enable the app, you must first log in and authenticate through the Central Bank Mobile App. The watch securely connects through your phone and won’t work if it is out of range.

You can manage your watch anytime under My Devices in the Mobile App or Online Banking. If you lose your watch, simply remove it from your devices to disable the app instantly.
