This article shows you how to add a credit or debit card to your Uber account. If you don't have a credit card, you can still use Uber and pay for your ride with another payment method, such as using PayPal, a debit card, or Apple Pay and Android Pay services.
Steps
Step 1. Launch the Uber app
It is characterized by a white circle inside which there is a black square. If you are not already logged in with an account, enter your mobile number and password or use your Facebook or Google account.
If you haven't installed the Uber app yet, you can do it directly from the App Store (iOS devices) or the Google Play Store (Android devices)
Step 2. Press the ☰ button to enter the application main menu
It is located in the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 3. Choose the Payment option
It's located below your name at the top of the page.
Step 4. Select the Add Payment link
It is located at the top of the screen.
If other payment methods are already present, the option " Add payment"will appear at the end of the list.
Step 5. Choose the Credit or Debit Card option
Also in this case you can find it at the top of the menu.
Step 6. Enter your card payment information
You can scan the card using your device's camera. To do this, press the camera icon on the far right of the "Card number" text field, then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. If you prefer to enter the information manually, you must provide the following information.
- Card number: it is the numeric code consisting of 16 digits that identifies the card located on the front;
- Expiration date: is the date on which the card will lose its validity and is indicated in the "MM / YY" format;
- CVV: it is the numerical security code consisting of three digits found on the back of the card itself;
- Country / State: this is the country or state where the card was issued. This information may not be necessary, depending on the area in which you reside;
- Postal code: this is the postal code you entered when you requested the card and which is used for billing. Remember that it may be different from the postal code of the residential address.
Step 7. Press the Save button when finished
It is located at the bottom of the screen. If all the information provided is correct, your card will be accepted and you can use it right away to pay for your Uber rides.
Advice
- While it is clearly stated on the Uber website that you can add a payment method directly from your online profile, this is not true. In reality it is only possible to do this using the appropriate application for mobile devices.
- Under no circumstances are Uber drivers accepting cash as compensation for a ride, but you can always carry cash with you if you wish to tip, as the Uber app does not allow you to add an extra amount to your total. pay for the ride.
