  1. Apply for a Venmo debit card if you don't have one already. Venmo has two options for physical cards: a debit card that pulls from your Venmo balance, and a credit card. Apple Wallet is now accepting both.
    • If you're approved for a Venmo debit card, it will arrive within ten business days. [1]
  2. This app should be pre-installed on your iPhone, and the icon looks like a gray wallet with multicolored cards on a black background.

  3. This will begin adding a new card to your Apple Wallet.
  4. Your phone's camera should activate to easily add your card.
  5. Alternatively, you can click Enter Card Details Manually to manually type in the card number, expiration date, and security code.
  6. This should only take a few moments, and once it completes, your Venmo debit card will be added to Apple Wallet and can be used anywhere Apple Pay is accepted.
    • Note that the Venmo debit card pulls from your Venmo balance, so you must have a Venmo balance to use the card.

Troubleshooting

  1. You can't add a Venmo account to Apple Wallet; you can only add the approved Venmo debit card or credit card. You can check your card's status in the Venmo app.
  2. In order to transfer money between Venmo and Apple Wallet, you'll need money on your card. Lack of funds may also prevent your card being added.
    • If you're trying to add a Venmo credit card, make sure your card's balance isn't maxed out.
  3. The issue may be with the Apple Wallet app itself. Since this is a built-in app, you'll need to check for updates on your iPhone.
