Answer Question

Here’s how to add your Chase virtual card to a digital wallet:

Using the Chase Mobile app, choose the card you want to add, scroll down to “Account Services” and then select “Digital Wallets.”

Choose from your list of available digital wallets, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

Select your new card.

Once the card has been added to your wallet, you can use it right away.

As for debit cards, Chase no longer offers instant issue cards and it typically takes 3- 5 business days for them to arrive. However, there are a few major banks and credit unions that do. Navy Federal, PNC, and others will print your debit card in the branch the day you sign up for an account. Not only will you have your debit card in minutes instead of days, you’ll have immediate access to your funds without having to use any starter checks.
