How to create a separate Apple Wallet with its own balance, cards, and bank account?

Is there a way to set up a second wallet, with its own balance, cards and bank account?

my Apple wallet is linked to my family joint account. I want to keep that, and to have a separate one to receives cash and pay from. I can link it to a different checking account if needed.

No, you may not have more than one Apple Wallet. Apple Wallets are apps and function similarly to a physical wallet. You put various payment methods (credit and debit cards) into the app for use with Apple Pay. A few countries permit adding banks accounts.


Apple Wallet is classified as an electronic wallet and subject to regulation by the country or region of use.
