Apple Pay is a digital wallet service created by Apple that makes paying with your iOS device simple and easy. To get started, you'll usually need a valid debit card. If you don't have one, you can use a supported prepaid card! Once your prepaid card is added, you can send and receive money with friends. This How.com.vn will show you how to add money to Apple Pay without a debit card using your iPhone or iPad.
Things You Should Know
- You can use a prepaid card with Apple Wallet if you don't have a debit card.
- To add money to your balance, add your prepaid card to your Apple Wallet, then transfer money from the card to Apple Cash.
- Each time you want to add money from the prepaid card, open the Wallet app, tap "Apple Cash" → "•••" → "Add Money", enter an amount, and tap "Add".
