Uber accepts credit cards. Again!

Web-based cab aggregator Uber, has announced that it has started accepting payments through credit cards once again.

In November last year, Uber had added an additional step to its billing process. User had to link their Uber accounts to PayTM wallets, which needed to be recharged (click here to read report). Now the company is giving its users a choice to pay through their existing PayTM or credit cards. However, the credit card payment option is available only on the Android smartphone platform.

Users will be able to add more than one credit card to their accounts. Credit cards issued by Mastercard, Visa and American Express will be accepted.

Adding a credit card using the latest Uber app for Android:

• Tap the account button in the top left corner
• Tap Payment
• Tap Add Payment
• Fill in credit card information or tap the "scan your card" option

After the trip, the user will see a "Pay Now" button that triggers the 2 factor authentication. The user has to type in his OTP or I-Pin and the receipt will be sent to his registered e-mail address.
