How to Add Money to Apple Pay

Apple Pay is a convenient way to make purchases without fumbling through your wallet or purse. But what happens if you run out of money in your Apple Pay account?

Don’t panic. We’ll teach you how to add money to your Apple Pay account so that you can continue using it for payments and convenience.

How Apple Pay Works

When you add a credit or debit card to Apple Pay, your card’s information is stored securely on your device.

You can then use Apple Pay to make purchases by holding your device near a contactless reader or entering your card information into an online checkout form.

How to Use Apple Pay

To use Apple Pay, you need to have an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch (iOS 12 or later). Since Apple Pay is already integrated into Macs, Apple Watches, iPhones, and iPad devices, you won’t have to download it as an app.

You must also be 18 years old and a United States resident.
