Add Your Credit or Debit Card
The Wallet app’s most basic feature is the ability to add your credit or debit card to your iPhone. This way, you can easily pay for stuff without having your physical card.
Adding your credit or debit card to Apple Wallet is pretty straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:
- Open the Wallet app.
- Tap the plus icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select Debit or Credit Card.
- Tap on Continue.
- Use your camera to scan your card. Or you can select Enter Card Details Manually.
- Follow the instructions on the screen and agree to the terms and conditions to finish adding your card.
Note that not every payment card is compatible with Apple Wallet. Your bank needs to support Apple Pay, and although most major banks are on board, you’ll still encounter a few holdouts. Also, while this works great for credit card and debit card payments, you may still need to have your physical card on hand for ATM withdrawals.
