How to Add Bank Account to Apple Cash

Unlike other credit cards, with Apple Card the only way to pay the bill is through the Wallet app on your iPhone (at least for now). You can't write a check or make a payment from your bank account. To ensure you're able to make your first payment on time, it's a good idea to set up your bank account as your payment option ahead of time. Here's how.

Note: Even if you have your bank account connected to Apple Pay, you'll still need to set it up separately with your Apple Card.

What you need

In order to set your bank account up as a payment option for your Apple Card, you'll need to know the account number and routing number. The routing number can be found on your physical check.

If like me, you haven't written a check in about 100 years and can't remember where you stuck your checkbook, you're not out of luck. There are a few additional ways you can track down your routing number. Here's how to find your bank's routing number online.

  • Some banks include this information in their dedicated apps, so check your bank's app.
  • You may be able to find it at your bank's web portal after you sign in with your username and password.
  • Your routing number almost always appears on your bank statement, of which you can usually access a PDF online at your bank's web portal.
  • If all else fails, talk to a human. You can call your bank and request your account's routing number.
