PayPal and Venmo Debit and Credit Cards Gain Apple Wallet Support

[MacRumors]

PayPal has announced that users can now add their PayPal and Venmo credit and debit cards to Apple Wallet, while still earning the same cashback and rewards on eligible purchases.

The new integration means users can use the cards to make contactless payments in-store, and use iPhones, iPads, and Macs to make purchases in apps and on the web using Apple Pay.

To get started, users should open the Apple Wallet app, tap the + button, then select the add "Debit or Credit Card" option. Cards can then be scanned or card details entered manually. PayPal says that users will be able to do this directly in the PayPal or Venmo apps in the coming months.

When making payments with Apple Pay, users can earn 2% on purchases with the PayPal Cashback Credit Card, earn PayPal Rewards points when shopping with the PayPal Debit Card and redeem them for cash back or other rewards, and earn cashback with the Venmo Debit Card at participating businesses. See the Paypal website for more information.

I didn't know Venmo had a debit card...

I did not know that about PayPal either

Yeah I have one for a couple years now but never used it once. They offered it free and I liked the color choices so I took one. Seems like an unnecessary offering though.

I have the PayPal Business Debit Card, I'm not sure how it differs from the regular one though

Too bad you can’t add your PayPal account as a card in the wallet 😬

Does the PayPal change apply anywhere outside the USA? Either now, or are there confirmed plans that it will?

Just tried this. My PayPal Business Debit Card added easy but my Venmo Debit Card said it was invalid even though it shows as valid in my Venmo account. Maybe it isn't ready yet.

little less useful now honestly since PayPal/Venmo removed the automatic backup funding a few weeks ago

if you keep a balance in either account often I guess this is nice but I liked how PayPal could pull the funds from my bank account while still getting 1% cashback before

Jesus Christ, talk about long overdue. Who even cares at this point anymore?
I had a PayPal credit card, many moons ago. It was back when Apple Pay was first introduced - this had to be what, 2015?? - that the PayPal credit card was basically the only credit card that could NOT be used with Apple Pay. No real reason, other than you just couldn’t add the credit card to Apple Pay. I don’t even think there was another credit card on the market at the time with a similar problem.
Even back then they said they would be supporting Apple Pay soon. I stopped waiting, I got an Amex, and thus I stopped using their card.
This really took an entire decade for them. Bravo.

Do PayPal credit cards exist outside the US?

What I want is to use Apple Pay inside Paypal. So I can still use Apple Pay on services that only take PayPal.

Since eBay separated from PayPal, I hardly ever use it anymore..i don't even know who takes it.

I think it uses Mastercard network so any merchant that accepts that

When can we add Apple Credit card to Venmo is what i want to know?

 

[Velin]

Paypal still planning to fine people for independent thought it doesn’t like?

 

[Radeon85]

PayPal business debit card in the UK still doesn't support Apple Pay, tried adding mine and I get the usual error you issuer does not offer support for this card

 

[ghanwani]

I thought you could add any credit card to your wallet and use it for Apple Pay. What makes this special? Just that PayPal wasn’t giving cash back on those?

Not every card can be added to the wallet app.

When I read the headline I figured this would be what we could do now. Kind of annoying that you can't.

I don't want to apply for anything or even get a physical card, it'd just be neat to be able to add Paypal as an Apple Pay payment card directly from the app.

I was a business PayPal user for a long time. Unfortunately as they hardened their system against fraudsters it became increasingly unpleasant for the rest of us. I now think of them as an abusive company and won't go near them.

The Venmo credit card is pretty decent. 3% cash back at your top category, 2% at your next - no limits on how many rewards you can get. It's a Visa so it works at Costco. The app and customer support are lacking, but now that there's Apple Pay support there's one more benefit!

Can you choose your category or do they assign it?
