You cannot set up a passcode for Apple Wallet. iPhones are personal devices; if yours is not used exclusively by you then you should not set up Apple Pay.


The closest you can come is to put a Screen Time restriction on it. Go to Settings/Screen Time, turn on Passcode, then go to Content & Privacy Restrictions/Allowed Apps & Features and turn on the switch for Wallet. This will be cumbersome, because any time that you want to use Wallet you will have to log in to Screen Time, turn Wallet on, use it, then turn Wallet off.
