Having Trouble Adding Your Card to Paze? You’re Not Alone
Here's the part nobody tells you: Paze isn't like Apple Pay. You can't just type in a card number and go. With Chase, you activate it once and all your eligible cards are ready together. Once you know where to look, it's quick.
What Paze is: a digital wallet built by the major banks for faster online checkout. Because your bank runs it, you turn it on through your bank rather than typing card details into the wallet itself.
The quick fix in the Chase app
- Sign in to the Chase mobile app.
- Tap Manage Account, then Digital Wallets.
- Tap Activate Paze and accept the terms.
That's it. Chase readies all your eligible Chase credit and debit cards at once, so there's nothing to redo for your other cards.
The one thing that trips people up: there's no "add a card" screen where you type a number. If you're hunting for one, that's why it feels broken. It lives under Manage Account, and you only do it once.
Not with Chase?
Paze isn't a Chase thing. The banks it lists are Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Elan, PNC, Star One, Truist, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo. The steps above are Chase's; with another bank, look for Paze in that bank's app or set it up at mywallet.paze.com.
Good to know
- Checkout works too. You can also activate Paze the first time you choose it at a participating store’s checkout.
- It’s not just websites. You’ll see Paze as a payment option on participating websites, and some stores take it inside their own app. Dunkin, for one, lets you check out in the Dunkin app with Paze.
