How to manage cards in Wallet on iPad

by Abigail Shilets

You can remove cards that you don’t use anymore from Apple Wallet. You can also remove credit and debit cards from Apple Pay if your iPad is lost or stolen.

You can view a card’s recent transactions, along with the last four digits of its number and its Device Account Number. Removing a card on your iPad doesn’t remove it from Wallet on your other devices, and you can add it back later.

Note: If you sign out of iCloud in Settings > [your name], all your credit and debit cards for Apple Pay are removed from iPad. You can add the cards again the next time you sign in to your Apple Account.

View card details

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay, then tap a card.
  3. Do any of the following:
    • Tap Transactions to view your recent history. To hide this information, turn off Show History. To view all your Apple Pay activity, see the statement from your card issuer.
    • View the last four digits of the card number and Device Account Number—the number transmitted to the merchant.
    • Change the billing address.
    • Remove the card from Apple Pay.

Remove a card

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay.
  3. Tap the card you want to remove. Tap Remove Card.

    Note: If you remove a payment card on your iPad, it’s not removed from Apple Wallet on your other devices. You can add the card again later.

Remove your cards from Apple Pay if your iPad is lost or stolen

If you turned on Find My, it can help locate and secure your iPad.

Removing your cards from Apple Pay takes another device or a call to the issuers of your cards.

How to fill in payment information on iPad

by Moses Johnson

With your physical and virtual card numbers saved in Apple Wallet, you can use AutoFill to automatically fill in payment information in apps and online where Apple Pay isn’t available. You can add, edit, and remove AutoFill cards to manage your saved payment methods.

Your AutoFill cards are saved in iCloud Keychain, so they’re on your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. And even if your card doesn’t support Apple Pay, you can add its number to Apple Wallet.

Save a physical card number in Apple Wallet

Even if your credit or debit card doesn’t support Apple Pay, you can add the card number to Apple Wallet.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay and tap AutoFill Cards.
  3. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Tap Add Card.
  4. Position your card in the frame to scan the information, or enter the card details manually.

Update or remove AutoFill cards

You can edit or delete the payment information and manage your AutoFill cards.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay and tap AutoFill Cards.
  3. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Tap a card to see the details.
  4. Do any of the following:

    • Update the card information: Tap Edit.
    • Delete the card information: Tap Remove From AutoFill.

      Note: Removing a card from AutoFill doesn’t remove it from Apple Pay.

See a virtual card number

Where Apple Pay isn’t available in apps or on websites, a virtual card number (available for supported cards) keeps your real card number hidden and helps prevent fraud.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Wallet & Apple Pay, then tap a supported payment card.
  3. Tap Card Information, then authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
  4. Tap the virtual card number to copy it.

Fill in your payment information during checkout

If Apple Pay isn’t an option, AutoFill can fill in the expiration date, card number, and security code of a saved credit or debit card in Apple Wallet. For a new card, the iPad camera can scan the information.

  1. During checkout, tap the card number field.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose a card saved in Apple Wallet: Tap a payment card above the onscreen keyboard.
    • Use a new card: Tap Scan Card. Position your card in the frame.
