GrabFood: What payment methods are accepted on GrabFood?

Okay, so GrabFood payment? Let me think… I usually use GrabPay, it's super convenient. Just tap the payment thing at checkout, you know, right before you hit "place order".

On my phone it shows GrabPay first, then credit/debit cards, I think. Sometimes cash on delivery is an option too, depending on the restaurant and location. It's been a while since I paid with cash, though. Probably because I usually have enough GrabPay credit.

I remember once, last month, maybe around the 27th of July in Kuala Lumpur, I tried to order from this amazing Nasi Lemak place. They only accepted cash, I was so bummed. Had to cancel my order, which sucked. It was expensive too, about RM25 for the set.

So yeah, generally GrabPay is my go-to. Credit cards are a solid backup. And sometimes, cash. But check the options at checkout, just in case. The available methods might vary.

Can I use cash for GrabFood?

Okay, listen to this. Last Tuesday, I was dead hungry. Like, REALLY hungry. I was at my apartment near KL Sentral, craving nasi lemak like nobody's business. Decided to GrabFood it. I always pay cash, you know? Old school.

But this time, the app wouldn't let me! What the heck? I kept tapping, and nothing. I was SO frustrated.

I usually just hand over the ringgits to the guy, easy peasy. The app just wasn't giving me that option. I think it was like, around 7 PM? I was so ready to chow down. I was annoyed. I had cash. What's the problem? Turns out it was a self pick-up order and those don’t allow cash.

  • Cash is a gamble with GrabFood, depends.

  • Specific conditions apply.

  • My workaround? I just cancelled the order and used a different account, phew. I finally got my nasi lemak!

How do I remove the payment method from Grab?

Deleting a Grab payment method? Piece of cake, unless you're technologically challenged like my Uncle Barry. Then it's a Mount Everest of frustration.

  • Step 1: Find the Settings icon. Think tiny wrench, or maybe a miniature magic wand – depends on the Grab app's mood. It’s in the Finance section, top left. Seriously, it's not hiding.

  • Step 2: Tap "Payment Methods." It’s there. I swear. This isn’t rocket science, people.

  • Step 3: Choose your bank account. The one you want to ditch, like that ex you regret adding to your contacts list.

  • Step 4: Hit "Unlink Account." Then confirm. Don't be a scaredy-cat.

  • Step 5: Log in to your bank. You know, the place with your actual money. It's a safety thing. Not that I'm implying Grab is inherently untrustworthy...

  • Step 6: Confirmation message appears. Rejoice! You’re free! Free from that bank account, anyway. Think of the possibilities. Maybe buy a puppy. Or a thousand lottery tickets.

My own experience? Smooth as butter. Unlike my attempt to make sourdough last year -- that was a disaster of epic proportions. Anyway, back to Grab...

Pro-tip: Double-check that account is actually gone. Paranoia is a virtue in these digital times, I’ve found. My friend, Sarah, lost $50 because she didn't. Learn from her mistakes! And, yes, that’s 2024 money.

Important Note: Grab's interface changes more often than my socks. So… these steps might be slightly off in, say, six months. Don't blame me. Blame Grab.
