What if I face an error while adding a card?
If you encounter an error, follow these steps:
- Check the app version: Reinstall the Careem app to ensure you're on the latest version.
- 3DS verification*: If your card supports 3DS authentication, complete all steps for successful card addition.
- Bank issue: Confirm with your bank that they have authorised Careem for online transactions.
*3DS is an authentication method that provides an additional layer of authentication for credit card transactions, protecting against fraudulent actors. 3DS asks customers to verify their identity with the card issuer during payment.
