How to view a old card number on iphone11?

Hi this is somewhat a tricky situation I’m in.

I need to view the full debit card number on an old card that no longer works. I am glad I did not delete the information of this card because this is the only place that has this specific card that I NEED to unlock my steam account to verify my information. 🥹.

So here’s the deal, I tried using apple wallet and it only lets me view my current usable card. It doesn’t even show my old(failed) card cus ofc it doesn’t work cus it’s old.

Is there any magical way that I am able to view the full debit card number? I would contact cash app but I no longer have that specific cash app account. It was changed so long ago 😭.

I appreciate the help ahead of time. Ty for ur time.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Apple Wallet doesn’t ever store the full account number. Apple encrypts the data and in a round about way sends it to your banks. They decrypt the number, add additional information and change the number and encrypts the card number again, except only the bank has the key to decrypt the data. Your bank returns the encrypted data and Apple does not have the key to decrypt the entire number. The bank only shares the last 4 digits of encrypted number with Apple. Your original data was deleted right after Apple sent encrypted data to your bank originally.

Sorry, but that was the long way of saying, Apple doesn’t have the number. If you don’t have it, only the issuing bank has the information.
