Yes, you can use most Capital One credit cards and debit cards with Apple Pay, except for certain co-branded cards. That means eligible cardholders can make purchases in stores that accept contactless payments, the same way they would pay with their physical card. You can also use the card with Apple Pay for in-app purchases.
It is also worth noting that the payment will appear on your Capital One credit card statement as a regular credit card purchase, and you’ll earn the same rewards.
Here’s how to use your Capital One credit card with Apple Pay:
- Open the Wallet app. For Apple Watch users, this is located in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap "Add Credit or Debit Card" or the + sign from the top right corner of the screen.
- Scan the card with the phone’s camera or enter the card’s details manually.
- Confirm everything is correct to add the card to your Apple Pay Wallet.
- Pay with Apple Pay at merchants by opening the app and tapping the phone on the reader. To pay for an in-app purchase, choose Apple Pay as your payment method and follow the on-screen instructions.
Apple Pay provides the same benefits and protection as your physical card, including zero liability protection. You won’t be held financially liable for any reported unauthorized charges made using your Capital One card through Apple Pay.
