Can I add my spouse's card to my Apple Pay?

Add Your Spouse’s Apple Card to Apple Pay with Ease

Apple Pay offers a convenient and secure way to manage your finances. As a family, it’s often beneficial to consolidate expenses and build credit jointly. Apple Family Sharing makes it easy to add your spouse’s Apple Card to your Apple Pay account, empowering you to manage a single account together.

Prerequisites:

• You and your spouse must have an Apple ID and be part of the same Family Sharing group.
• Your spouse must have an Apple Card or be eligible to apply for one.

Add Your Spouse’s Apple Card:

1. Open the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
2. Tap on the “Family” tab in the bottom right corner.
3. Select your spouse’s name from the list of family members.
4. Tap on “Apple Card” under the “Payment Information” section.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your spouse’s identity and add their Apple Card to your account.

Benefits of Adding Your Spouse’s Apple Card:

• Joint Credit Management: By becoming co-owners of the Apple Card, you and your spouse can build credit together, improving your overall credit scores.
• Shared Expenses: Your spouse’s Apple Card can be used to make purchases from shared devices, such as family computers or tablets. This simplifies expense tracking and avoids confusion.
• Convenience: With both cards linked to your Apple Pay account, you can easily switch between them for purchases. This eliminates the need to carry multiple cards or remember which one is attached to specific devices.

Note:

If your spouse does not currently have an Apple Card, they can apply for one through your Family Sharing group. By accepting the invitation, your spouse becomes a co-owner on the existing card. Family Sharing allows up to six family members to share subscriptions, apps, and iCloud storage, making it an excellent tool for families seeking to manage their digital lives together.
