Having Trouble Adding Your Card to Paze? You’re Not Alone

Updated November 2, 2026

Paze works differently from Apple Pay. With Chase, you do not type in a card number to add a card. You activate Paze once in the Chase app, and Chase says your eligible cards come with it.

What Paze is: a digital wallet run by Early Warning Services, the company behind Zelle, and offered through participating banks. You turn it on through your bank rather than typing card details into the wallet itself.

How do you add a Chase card to Paze?

Sign in to the Chase mobile app.
Tap Manage Account, then Digital Wallets.
Tap Activate Paze and accept the terms.

Chase says your eligible Chase credit and debit cards are included, so you should not need to repeat this for each card. Which cards are eligible depends on the card.

The one thing that trips people up: with Chase, there is no screen where you type a card number to add a card. The setting is under Manage Account in the Chase app, and you activate it once.

Not with Chase?

Paze is offered by several banks. As of the date shown on this guide, the banks Paze 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 check mywallet.paze.com.

What else is worth knowing?

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 may see Paze as a payment option on participating websites, and some merchants also offer it inside their own app. Each merchant decides whether to offer it, and that can change. As of the date shown on this guide, Dunkin’s app offered Paze at checkout.

Steps reflect the Chase mobile app as of the date shown above, and menu names can change. Paze and Chase do not sponsor or endorse this guide. Browse all guides or our card pages.
