How to add your Spenda USD virtual card to your Apple account.

Want to pay for subscriptions but your naira card just won’t cut it? You’re not alone, and Spenda has the perfect solution: our Virtual Dollar Card.

This simple guide will walk you through how to add your Spenda USD virtual card to your Apple account, configure your settings properly, and make payments without running into annoying regional errors.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Why Spenda's Virtual Card Works

  • It’s a USD card; perfect for international transactions.
  • U.S. billing address; most global platforms (like X Premium, Netflix, Apple Services, etc.) require this.
  • Works for: X App, Apple/Google subscriptions, international apps, streaming services, and more.

IMPORTANT: Due to recent policy updates from Apple, your account region must match your card’s billing region (which is U.S. for Spenda cards). Without this, your card may be declined, even if you have sufficient balance.
