Add Startale Card to Apple Pay or Google Pay
Startale Card is rolling out to waitlist users in priority rank order. If you’ve received a card, add it to your phone wallet to pay in stores with a tap.
Add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet once, and every contactless terminal in more than 150 million merchant locations becomes a place where your Soneium assets power your spending.
Tap to Pay
The moment your virtual card is live in the Startale App, your phone wallet turns it into a card you can tap at a cafe, a convenience store or a taxi terminal. No bank transfers, no exchange withdrawals. Your USDSC backs your card, so you can just tap.
Here is what adding your card to a phone wallet unlocks:
- Tap to pay in stores: Use your phone at any contactless-enabled terminal at home or abroad, in the local currency.
- Spend the same day you activate: No shipping or waiting for a card in the mail.
- See every tap in one place: Each payment lands in Startale App with the merchant, category and the cashback you earned. International purchases show the exact exchange rate applied, and you can freeze your card anytime from the same screen.
Before You Start
You will need two things: a Startale Card that has been activated in Startale App (apply from the Card tab, get verified, then activate), and a device that supports Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Add Your Card on iPhone (Apple Wallet)
- In Startale App, go to Card settings and tap Add to Apple or Google Wallet, then select the Apple Wallet tab.
- Tap Show to reveal the card number, expiry and security code, or use the copy button next to each field.
- Open Apple Wallet on your iPhone, tap the + button, and choose Debit or Credit Card.
- Enter your card details exactly as shown in Startale App.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to finish. Once verified, your Startale Card appears in Apple Wallet. Ready to tap.
Add Your Card on Android (Google Wallet)
- In Startale App, go to Card settings and tap Add to Apple or Google Wallet, then select the Google Wallet tab.
- Tap Show to reveal the card number, expiry and security code, or use the copy button next to each field.
- Open Google Wallet, tap Add to Wallet, and choose Payment card.
- Enter your card details exactly as shown in Startale App.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to finish. Once verified, your Startale Card is set for tap-to-pay.
Is It Safe to Keep a Card on My Phone?
Adding your card to a phone wallet adds a layer of protection. When you add Startale Card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, the wallet does not store your actual card number. It creates a device-specific token that stands in for your card at the terminal and every payment requires your phone's unlock: Face ID, fingerprint, or passcode. If your phone is lost, your card details are not sitting on it, and you can manage your card from Startale App on another device.
Ready to Tap?
If you are in the current rollout wave, open Startale App, activate your card and add it to your phone wallet today. Access is rolling out to waitlist users in priority rank order. If you haven’t received your card yet, you can move up the queue through our Card Chase campaign.
