No. You need a passcode to unlock the iPhone to be able to use Wallet.


Its highly recommended to use a passcode and Face ID on an iPhone regardless , otherwise anyone can just pickup up your phone access it and all your data.


You can use super simple passcode if you want, and Face ID is entirely optional, though generally it unlocks the iPhone instantly, so it should not be a major issue in regular usage.
