Apple Pay still charging to removed card

I have removed a credit card from Apple Pay (on both my iPad and iPhone) and replaced it with a debit card, yet all Apple Pay transactions continue to charge to the removed card.


It is happening across all Apps. I did power down and power back up both devices to try to troubleshoot, to no avail.


Any ideas?

iPad, iPadOS 17

It more than likely is a subscription, because, unless the subscription is cancelled, the payment network (Visa, MasterCard etc.) will continue to charge the card you used when the subscription originally was started. Mastercard calls it ABU, Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) and it can continue to be charged until a subscription is canceled.


Payment Networks consider this a feature, but I can understand the inconvenience. Please cancel the subscription.

Hi,

my problem is the following:

I have my credit card and debit card and even Revolut registered to Apple pay.

I was willing to make transaction with Credit card, did not go through- after I removed that card - would like to use the other cards- made one of them default - but still the transaction appeared to get money from my removed credit card.

I cannot use my other cards in this case, the app would like to get the money from my removed card. Any idea?

No, i have not been charged this is the problem. My cards are there, is money on it, and the transaction is declined even i allowed in my banking app with a purchase code.. so the problem is i want to be charged but now i cannot. I tried to put an other card for default but still would like to charge from my old credit card which is not longer registered.

Even I changed everywhere the cards in Mac/ Iphone the transaction wants to move money from my inactive credit card.
