BusinessHABUber driver app: Do you need help adding a debit or credit card to your Uber account? Fortunately, Uber makes it easy to add new cards and update your cards in the Wallet section of the mobile app. We’ll walk you through adding your debit or credit card to the Uber app, show you how to update your existing cards, and teach you what to do if you can’t add a card to Uber.
Things You Should Know
- You can add a new debit or credit card in the Wallet section of the Uber app.
- If you need to change an existing card’s expiration date, ZIP code, or postal code, you can edit the card’s info without deleting and re-adding.
- Adding a card to the Uber app also makes that card available in Uber Eats.
Uber driver app
Open the Uber app and tap Account. You’ll see this at the bottom-right corner of the screen. If you don’t want to type your card information manually, you can use your Android, iPhone, or iPad’s camera to quickly scan your card into the Uber app.
- This method works best for cards that have embossed numbers on the front. If your card has printed numbers on the back side, you’ll usually still be able to scan it. If this method doesn’t work, you can enter your details manually instead.
Tap + Add Payment Method or Redeem Gift Card. You might have to scroll down to see this option, which is just below your existing payment methods (if any).
Uber driver app
Tap the camera icon in the Card Number field. It’s in the first field at the top of the screen. Your camera viewfinder will appear.
- If the Uber app doesn’t have access to your camera, you’ll be prompted to grant permission now.
Type your card’s expiration date, CVV, and billing ZIP or postal code. The CVV is typically 3 digits and appears in the signature field.
- If you have an American Express card, it’s the 4 digits on the card’s front right side.

Tap Credit or Debit Card. This is the last option on the screen.
Uber driver app
Enter your credit card details. You’ll need to enter the card number, expiration date, CVV (the 3 or 4-digit code near your signature), country, and ZIP or postal code. You’ll also need to enter a nickname for the card, which is how the card will appear in the app.
- If you have an American Express card, the CVV is the 4 digits on the card’s front right side.
Tap Save. Now that you’ve saved a new credit or debit card, you can now use it when you request a ride.
- Adding a card to your Uber wallet also makes that card available in the Uber Eats app.
Updating or Removing a Card
Tap Edit. You’ll see this below the expiration date.
- If you want to delete the card from Uber, just tap Remove payment method instead, and then tap Delete to confirm.
Uber driver app
Make your changes. Now you can easily edit any of your card’s information.
- Even if your CVV number hasn’t changed, you’ll still need to enter it again for security purposes.
Tap Save. This saves any change you’ve made to your credit or debit card info.
Troubleshooting
Make sure there are no restrictions on your card. Uber places a temporary $1 authorization charge on the card for validation, so you’ll need to make sure the card is active and in good standing with your bank.
- The $1 authorization charge is voided automatically once your card is validated, so you won’t actually be charged.
Uber driver app
Contact your bank. Banks sometimes place holds on credit and debit cards when they suspect fraud—especially if you’ve been using your card while traveling. Ask your bank if there’s any reason why you wouldn’t be able to add that card to your Uber account.

Uber won’t automatically remove an expired card from the app. Make sure to update your payment information as soon as it changes.
