What is a digital wallet?
A digital wallet is exactly what it sounds like, a “wallet” that is on your mobile device. Paying through your digital wallet is a form of contactless payment, similar to paying with a contactless card. A digital wallet allows you to carry your debit card information in a digital form that is secure on your mobile device.
How do digital wallet payments work?
A digital wallet is accessible through an app on your phone or your wearable device such as a smartwatch, so start by downloading a mobile app. There are many different apps to choose from, and phone companies such as Apple and Android offer versions of a digital wallet.
The digital wallet payment function is enabled for Apple Pay and Google Pay on our Debit Mastercard®.
Then, all you have to do is enter the information of your ESSA Bank & Trust card into your digital wallet app. After adding your card, look for the contactless symbol, which looks like the Wi-Fi symbol turned on its side, at payment terminals in stores. With your digital wallet app open, tap your phone to the contactless symbol when you are checking out.
Why should I use a digital wallet?
A digital wallet offers you more convenience and security than your traditional wallet. If you have any questions about your digital wallet, call 855.713.8001.
We want to make sure you have access to your account at all hours and from any device. TeleBank offers those that want to use a touch-tone device an easy way to do just that!

Avoid the inconvenience of overdrawing your bank account. Now you can, because we have you covered. Our Overdraft Protection program provides a convenient way to avoid the inconvenience of overdrawing your account or having an item returned for insufficient funds.
Just add Overdraft Protection to any checking account by linking it to a statement savings or money market account. Funds will automatically be transferred to your checking account when the balance does not cover checks that you have written or other items (ACH or debit card transactions, for example) presented for payment on your account.
We’ll do the work, and you’ll avoid having your check or electronic transaction returned. Standard insufficient funds/overdraft fees are waived, but a nominal transfer fee applies.
Interested in adding Overdraft Protection? Read our FAQ or contact any of our branch locations and speak to a customer service representative to learn more.
