Updating a payment method on your account

Adding and selecting a preferred payment method will allow you request a ride. Depending on your country and city, you can add payment methods such as credit cards, cash, or a PayPal account. When a ride ends, your selected payment method is charged. 

During a ride, use your app to check that your preferred payment method is selected. Swipe up from the bottom of the app and tap your desired payment method before the trip ends.

1. Select "Payment" from your app menu. 
2. Tap Add Payment.

SCAN A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD
1. To scan a card, tap the camera icon. Your phone may ask permission for the Uber app to use the camera.
