How to Edit Your Uber Credit Card Information

If you’ve received a new card with an updated expiration date, it doesn’t make sense to delete your credit card and add all the same info again.

For cases like these, Uber has an “Edit” option you can use.

To get to this option, you’ll follow many of the same steps as before.

First, go to the “Payment” menu in the Uber app.

For security reasons, Uber will make you re-enter your card’s CVV and zip code each time you change its information. You’ll also need to enter your password to confirm the change.

Once you’ve made the necessary changes, tap “Save” to update your card information.

Why You Would Want to Remove Your Credit Card from Uber

You might consider removing your credit card from the Uber app for several reasons, such as switching to alternative payment methods like PayPal, Google Pay, or Uber gift cards.

Security concerns, especially if your card is outdated or compromised, or if you’re discontinuing Uber services, also warrant the removal of your financial details.

However, for simple updates to card details, editing the existing information is more convenient than deletion.

If security breaches concern you, such as the “Uber Say My Name” scam, removing your payment method becomes a prudent step. The following section will guide you on how to manage or remove your card details from Uber.

Frequently Asked Questions

To close, we want to address a few common questions people have about deleting credit card information from Uber.

Does deleting the Uber app delete my credit card information?

No, deleting the Uber app does not remove your credit card information from Uber’s servers; it only removes it from your device for convenience and to facilitate future app reinstalls or online bookings.

Does deleting my Uber account delete my credit card information?

Yes, deleting your Uber account will remove your credit card information after a 30-day period, although Uber may retain certain details for legal reasons.

If someone steals my phone, can they use the Uber app to steal my credit card information?

No, if someone steals your phone, they cannot directly access your full credit card details through the Uber app, as it only displays the last four digits and expiration date of the card.
