I have never been asked for verification on apple pay. I also don’t use apple card. I would like to ask if there is a way to still receive money without having to give my social security number since I am not comfortable with that. I used to receive, buy, and send money without having to put in any personal information. Why can’t I do it now?
iPhone 8, iOS 14
