THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO USING UBER WITH Paytm
Using Uber on your Android or iPhone? Here’s everything you need to know about syncing a Paytm Wallet to your account, to Uber on, effortlessly.
ADDING A PAYTM WALLET TAKES JUST 2 MINUTES.
Here’s how to link an existing Paytm wallet (or create a new one) in 5 simple steps:
1. Fire up the Uber App
2. Tap the profile icon on the top of the screen, then tap on ‘Payment’
3. Next, tap on the ‘Add Payment’ option and follow the steps to add your PayTM wallet
4. If you don’t already have a Paytm Wallet, we’ll create one for you in seconds. You will receive an OTP (One Time Password) via email and an SMS on your mobile number registered with Uber. Just punch the OTP in here, tap on Verify and your account will be magically linked.
Note: If your existing Paytm account has the same mobile number and email ID combination as your Uber account, you will receive the OTP via email and SMS too. If the combination isn’t the same, you will receive the OTP either via your email or mobile, depending on which of the two is already registered on Paytm.
5. Next, tap ‘Add Money’ top up your wallet balance. You can use your Debit card, Credit card or even Net-banking – whichever’s most convenient for you!
Once you’ve topped up your Paytm Wallet, you’re ready to Uber!
