Do you mean Apple Cash? You need to be 18 to have your own account. You can be part of a family account and use Apple Cash if your parent/guardian sets it up

Why is Apple Pay asking for SSN to verify identity after setup? I did setup Apple Pay Family and added my kids. They have been using for more than a year. However, all the sudden it is asking now to confirm identity with SSN in order to receive payment. I understand if it is needed at setup, according to apple cash - Green Dot Bank policies. However, Apple can use any of the authentication methods like they have for any apple services after it is already setup and verified customer. Is there a way to request to Apple Pay to use other authentication other than asking for SSN? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
