Remove Inactive Card from Apple Pay

I see this has been asked but never answered and posts now inactive.


How do I remove an old card from Apple pay that I no longer have and is NOT ACTIVE in Apple pay? It asks me for this card every time I add a new card or restore from backup. It's gone. Doesn't exist. I want it out of there.

Any chance?

Hello jbhardman,


Thanks for sharing this screenshot with us. It looks like you don't have the option to remove these cards. Let’s see what we can do to figure this out. 


Next, let's try to add an active card to Apple Pay, and see if that solves this issue. Here's how to add card:

Also, make sure your iPhone is up-to-date on software. When you navigate to: Settings > General > Software Update do you see any available updates?


If so, please back up your iPhone, then update as explained in the following links:
