add apple pay to 12 year old child's iphone

I found a conversation from 2017 saying Apple don't allow adding Apple Pay to an under 13 year old's iPhone. Is this still the case? Seems daft to me - if their parents have given them a debit card and bank account then why can't they add it to Apple Pay?

Yes that is the case - certain services including Apple Pay are restricted to those under the age of 13.


You could try changing your child’s date of birth in settings > *Apple ID* > Name, Phone Numbers, Email and it should work then.
