Is Apple Card and Apple Pay the same?/ Is Apple Cash the same as Apple Pay

02 Feb 2023

The answer is No. Apple card is different from Apple Pay. 

Apple Cash is a digital card that is stored in the Wallet app. It's a simple way to send and receive money via Messages or Wallet. Because Apple Cash is a digital card, it can be used in stores, online, and in apps that accept Apple Pay. Your Apple Cash balance can be viewed in the Wallet app or in Settings > Wallet and Apple Pay. You can also set up Apple Cash for family members under the age of 18, allowing you to send them money that they can spend with their own Apple Cash card.

Apple Pay is a contactless payment technology that is only available on Apple devices. It was created to transition consumers away from physical wallets and toward a world in which your debit and credit cards are stored on your iPhone or Apple Watch, allowing you to pay with your device rather than a card. Apple Pay is compatible with the majority of major credit and debit card providers, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Unsurprisingly, Apple's Apple Card is also supported. You can use Apple Pay to make secure, contactless purchases with Apple Cash, Apple Card, and any other credit or debit cards you add to your Wallet.
