YOU'LL NEED

Your phone

Short answer: yes, your Swype card works with both Apple Pay and Google Pay. Whether it actually goes through on your specific phone depends on your device, your region, and wallet eligibility — most people won't run into any of that, but it's worth knowing.

①

Adding your card to a wallet

Since your Swype card is virtual, you already have everything you need to add it — the full card number, expiry, and CVV are right there in your dashboard:

Open the Apple Wallet or Google Wallet app on your phone

Tap "Add card" and choose to enter details manually

Enter your card number, expiry, and CVV from your Swype dashboard, then verify if prompted

②

If it doesn't work

A small number of things can stop a wallet from accepting the card, none of which are about your account being broken:

●

Device support — very old phones may not support Apple Pay or Google Pay at all

●

Region — wallet availability varies by country, independent of Swype

●

A new card after expiration — if you get a replacement card, you'll need to add it to your wallet again since it's a different card number

Good to know: once it's added, you can tap to pay in stores the same way you would with any other card in your wallet — nothing about using it is different just because it started out virtual.
