How to add any card to Apple Pay
Adding a card to Apple Pay is easy. Simply open the Apple Wallet app on your iPhone and click on the plus icon on the top right corner. While Apple Pay is one of the most convenient ways to pay, not all debit and credit cards are supported. With Curve, a powerful digital wallet, you can make any debit or credit card work with Apple Pay—even if it's not natively supported. Plus, if you're a UK customer, you can add PayPal to your Curve Wallet, enabling you to use PayPal and PayPal Credit in-store through Apple Pay.
Curve is much more than just a way to pay; it's a supercharged financial tool that helps you get more from your money. It brings all your payment cards into one app, enhances your Apple Pay experience, and comes packed with benefits like cashback rewards, fee-free travel, spending insights, and the ability to Go Back in Time® to switch payments between cards retroactively.
