Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, bernicemorgan!


I understand you're trying to setup Apple Pay, however, you're being sent a verification code, but it's being sent to an old phone number. I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.


Have a look at this article: Set up Apple Pay

"Add a card on your iPhone 

  1. Go to Wallet and tap .
  2. Follow the steps to add a new card. Watch the demo to see how it works. If you're asked to add the card that you use with iTunes, cards on other devices, or cards that you’ve recently removed, choose them, then enter the card security codes. You might be required to download an app from your bank or card issuer to add a card to Wallet.
  3. Tap Next. Your bank or card issuer will verify your information and decide if you can use your card with Apple Pay. If your bank or issuer needs more information to verify your card, they'll ask you for it. When you have the information, go back to Wallet and tap your card.
  4. After your bank or issuer verifies your card, tap Next. Then start using Apple Pay.

Get help adding your card to Wallet."


As you can see, if your bank needs additional information to verify your card, they'll be the ones asking for it. The old phone number would be linked to your bank account.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Enjoy your day!
