How do I change my preferred payment on Uber?

Updating Your Uber Payment Method: A Quick Guide

Need to switch your credit card, link a different bank account, or update your PayPal details on Uber? It’s a straightforward process that takes just a few taps within the app. Here’s a quick guide to help you seamlessly change your preferred payment method:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open the Uber App: Launch the Uber app on your smartphone. Make sure you’re logged into your account.

2. Navigate to “Payment”: Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines or a circle with your profile picture) located in the top left or bottom right corner of the screen. This will open the main menu. Scroll down and select “Wallet” or “Payment,” depending on your app version.

3. Choose Your Payment Method: You’ll see a list of your saved payment methods – credit/debit cards, PayPal, Uber gift cards, etc. Locate the specific payment method you want to modify.

4. Access Edit Options: This is where the three dots come in. Look for three vertically stacked dots (or a similar “more options” icon) next to the payment method you’ve chosen. Tap on it.

5. Select “Edit”: From the menu that appears, choose “Edit.” This will allow you to modify the details of your chosen payment method.

6. Adjust Your Details: Depending on the type of payment method, you can update various details. For credit/debit cards, this might include updating the expiration date or card security code (CVC). For bank accounts, you might be able to update the account details. Make the necessary changes.

7. Save Your Changes: Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments, tap “Save” or “Update” (the wording may vary slightly) to finalize the changes. You should see a confirmation message indicating that your payment information has been successfully updated.

Troubleshooting Tip: If you encounter any issues updating your payment information, double-check the accuracy of the entered details. If the problem persists, try deleting the payment method and adding it again as a new entry. You can also contact Uber support through the app for further assistance.

Now you’re all set! The next time you request a ride or order food through Uber, your updated payment method will be used.
