# What Is 'Express Mode' on Apple Pay?

## Use your Yeeld card without unlocking your phone.

**Express Mode** lets you use your Yeeld card stored in Apple Wallet without needing to unlock your phone, open an app, or use Face ID or Touch ID.

This is especially handy when you're in a rush—like catching a train or bus—where you need to tap and go quickly.

Even if your iPhone battery is low, Express Mode can still work for a short time after your device powers down.

**How to Set Up Apple Pay in 3 Easy Steps:**

1. **Open the Wallet app** and tap the **+** icon.
2. Select **Debit or Credit Card**, then follow the instructions to add your Yeeld card.
3. **Activate Express Mode** by selecting your Yeeld card and tapping “Express Travel Card” in settings.

You're now ready to tap and go, even without unlocking your phone.
