Can I use the Virtual Card with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes. The El Dorado Virtual Card is compatible with Apple Pay (iPhone) and Google Pay (Android).
Once linked, you can pay at physical stores by tapping your phone at stores that accept contactless payments. The charge goes directly to your card, which is funded with your USDT balance.
How do I add it to Apple Pay?
Open the Wallet app on your iPhone
Tap the "+" button to add a new card
Select "Debit or credit card"
Enter your Virtual Card details (you'll find them in the El Dorado app)
Verify and done
Your iPhone is now ready to pay with tap.
How do I add it to Google Pay?
Open Google Pay (or Google Wallet) on your Android
Tap "Add to Wallet" > "Payment card"
Enter your El Dorado Virtual Card details
Accept the terms and verify
Done
Your Android now works as your wallet.
Where can I pay with tap?
At any store that has the contactless payment symbol (the waves that look like sideways WiFi). This includes:
Supermarkets
Cafés and restaurants
Pharmacies
Clothing stores
Public transit in some cities
And many more
More and more stores support this technology across Latin America. And when you travel abroad, it works too.
What are the advantages of paying with your phone?
No need to carry a physical card or cash
It's faster than inserting or swiping a card
Works at local and international stores
Your card is protected (you don't physically share the details)
Do I need to have balance on the card?
Yes. For the payment to go through, your Virtual Card needs to have balance. You can top it up in seconds from the El Dorado app before leaving home or whenever you need to.
📌 Tip: Link your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay as soon as you issue it. That way it's always ready to pay without having to look up the details every time.
