Can someone else add your card to Digital Wallet?

Hello. I have questions about Apple Pay.


My Debit card from Chase Bank was stolen and used fraudulently. I immediately locked the card, but it was still available on Apple Pay. (I called Chase and ordered a new card with different numbers later)


Here’s my questions:

  1. Can thieves add your card to their Digital Wallet like Apple Pay and use it on their device?
  2. If they can, is there any way the replacement card will be used on their device in the future? (e.g. The debit card information on their device will be updated to the new one automatically after I activate the card)


I believe it’s unlikely since you need the new card information to add it to their device or need to log in to my bank account to register it on their device from there..


I would appreciate any help. This’s actually my first time my card was stolen and used..

Thank you.

Greetings Leonsito90,


We're glad you were able to contact your bank and lock the card! That is by far the best steps you could have, and did take! Once a card number is deactivated, it becomes void and unusable. This is the same for the number when in use in Apple Pay.


That being said, you will want to update the payment method you have on file with Apple in case you have any subscriptions. This will help ensure there is no interruption in your Apple services. Check out this link to learn how to delete and add payment methods that are linked to Apple Pay: Change or remove the payment cards that you use with Apple Pay - Apple Support. If you had that card linked to your iTunes and App Store, you'll want to follow the steps offered here: Change, add, or remove Apple ID payment methods - Apple Support.


We hope this information helps you out.


Kind regards!
