Method 1: Through the Venmo App
This is often the most straightforward and recommended method.

- Look for the "Add to Apple Wallet" Option: On the card details screen, you should find an option that says something like "Add to Apple Wallet" or an icon resembling the Apple Wallet logo. Tap on this option.
Method 2: Through the Apple Wallet App
Alternatively, you can initiate the process directly from the Apple Wallet app.

Step 3: Following the On-Screen Instructions
Once you've initiated the process through either method, you'll be guided by on-screen instructions. Pay close attention to each step:
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Reviewing Card Details
- The Venmo app or Apple Wallet will likely display the details of your Venmo card. Carefully review the card number, expiration date, and CVV to ensure they are correct.

Agreeing to Terms and Conditions
- You will be presented with the terms and conditions for adding your card to Apple Wallet. Read these carefully before proceeding.
- Tap "Agree" or a similar button to accept the terms.
Verification Process

Using Your Venmo Card with Apple Pay
