Grab - Adding a debit card

Post by Doc67 »

Is any anyone else having trouble loading a debit card onto the Grab app?

I changed my phone and did a Samsung smart switch. However Grab did not transition well and no card was on the account.

I called them and they know it is a problem but still no call back or ablility to upload a card.

Very annoying with all these pissy little riel notes I know have to carry....

They still can't add my card. Issue sent to technical team but no further info.

I am thinking of closing the account and deleting the app and starting from scratch but not sure if that will achieve anything apart from the loss of all my points.

With aba you can create a virtual debit card in the aba app.

It is ABA and a virtual card. I used it on the account before without a problem. Even a new one I created is still being refused.

Uninstalled app, reloaded it and it worked fine.

No why can't Grab figure that out?
