How to Unlink Your Card From PalmPay

Here’s how to do the Unlinking of your debit/credit card from PalmPay using a quick and easy process.

Open the PalmPay App: On your smartphone or device Launch the PalmPay app.
Access the “Profile” Section: At the bottom right corner of the screen, represented by an icon resembling a silhouette or your initials. Locate the “Profile” section within the app
Find “Payment Methods”: look for an option labeled “Payment Methods“, “Cards”, or a similar category related to managing your linked accounts in the profile section.
View Linked Cards: Tapping on “Payment Methods” or the equivalent option will display a list of all your currently linked debit/credit cards within PalmPay.
Select Card to Unlink: Identify the specific card you want to remove by its last four digits or bank name. Tap on that card to proceed.
Confirm Unlinking: You’ll likely see a confirmation prompt asking if you want to “Unlink Card” or “Remove Card”. Double-check the details to ensure you’re selecting the right card. Tap “Confirm” or “Unlink” to proceed.

Heads Up: Unfortunately, including screenshots within this guide isn’t possible. However, the steps mentioned above should apply to the most recent versions of the PalmPay app. Terminology might vary slightly depending on your specific app version and the layout.

For future transactions within the app you won’t be able to use that specific card. Your chosen debit/credit card will be removed from your PalmPay account once you confirm the unlink request.

Put these into consideration before unking your card

Impact on Existing Funds: Unlinking your debit/credit card only removes the card information from your PalmPay account. Any existing funds currently in your PalmPay balance will remain unaffected. You can still use those funds for transactions within the app or transfer them to another linked bank account (if available).

Relinking a Previously Unlinked Card: If you ever decide to use the same card again with PalmPay you can easily re-link it without stress. Re-linking a previously unlinked card is similar to adding a new card. Simply navigate to the ‘Payment Methods’ section within the app and follow the prompts to add your card details again.

Why should I unlink my card from PalmPay?

Some reasons why you might want to unlink your debit/credit card from your PalmPay account are all below:

Security: No longer actively using a particular card, or if you suspect any suspicious activity related to the card, unlinking it removes that potential vulnerability from your PalmPay account.
Organization: Want to streamline your PalmPay options? Possibly because you have multiple cards linked. Unlinking unused cards keeps your payment methods organized and reduces the risk of accidentally using the wrong card.
Switching Cards: lost your card? or has it expired, been stolen, or you’re switching to a different card with better benefits? Unlinking the old card and relinking the new one ensures your PalmPay transactions use the most up-to-date payment information.
Temporary Measure: Maybe you’re taking a break from using PalmPay for a while and don’t want your card readily available for transactions within the app. Unlinking the card provides an extra layer of control over your finances.

What happens if I accidentally unlink my card?

Accidentally unlinking your card from PalmPay won’t cause any major issues, but it might cause some inconvenience depending on your situation. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

Transactions: You won’t be able to use the unlinked card for any future transactions within the PalmPay app. If you were planning to use that card for an upcoming payment, you’ll need to use a different payment method linked to your PalmPay account or update the payment information with the merchant directly.
Funds: The good news is that unlinking the card doesn’t affect any existing funds in your PalmPay balance. You can still access and use those funds for other transactions or transfers within the app.
Relinking the Card (Optional): If you decide you want to use the unlinked card again with PalmPay, it’s simple to re-link it. The process is similar to adding a new card. Go to the “Payment Methods” section in the PalmPay app and follow the prompts to add your card details again.

How to avoid accidentally unlinking my card

Here are some additional tips to consider:

Double-check before confirming: Pay attention before tapping “confirm” on the unlink prompt. Make sure you’re absolutely positive about removing the card before finalizing the action.
Keep track of linked cards: Consider keeping a note of your linked cards somewhere outside of the PalmPay app, perhaps in a secure password manager or document. This way, if you accidentally unlink a card and can’t recall the details immediately, you’ll have a reference for relinking it if needed.

Is it safe to unlink my card from PalmPay?

Unlinking your card from PalmPay is generally considered a safe action. Here’s why:

Limited access removal: Unlinking only removes the card information from your PalmPay account. It doesn’t deactivate or cancel the actual card itself. You can still use the card for other transactions outside of PalmPay.
No impact on funds: Your existing funds in your PalmPay balance remain untouched. You can continue using those funds for transactions or transfers within the app.
Reversible action: If you accidentally unlink your card or change your mind later, you can easily re-link it through the PalmPay app’s “Payment Methods” section.
