Why is Apple asking me for my Social Security number ?
Apple Pay processes all transactions through Green Bank. They are a bank and are required by law to report transactions beyond a certain threshold to the IRS. You must provide them your SSN or you can't use Apple Pay Cash. The same requirement now applies to ALL such services.
to make sure you are who you say you are to use Apple Cash or Apple Card.
Apple Pay is connected to my bank account and I have to use my code every time to use it. That is my check to prove who I am. If I can’t use the the service then so be it.
