First, you’re not going to get one. (because there quite literally isn’t one … it changes for each and every transaction)


Second, your entire charge history will STILL be accessible via your Card Issuer’s existing account management system.

Hi Jeff, even tho Apple Pay is an app -accessed via wallet- transactions via Apple Pay are given an unique number, different to card number, and specific to every device the card has been added to. You can see the four numbers of said number when you go into settings/Apple wallet.


However, in order to control my expenses I need the full Apple Pay number, and I cannot find a way to get any more than the last 4 digits.

No problem. Please read this article on Wikipedia,


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pay


I’ve read it and it’s well written and worth the few minutes so you can understand why the 4 digit number is likely all you’ll ever see because of the tokenization and encryption used. There is also a very good 5 minute video on YouTube you might want to watch, if you’re interested.
