Q: Does apple pay change your CC info?

I noticed on a receipt I had emailed to me that the last four digits of the CC I use in apple pay were different than what is listed on my card. It is my debit card which is attached to a bank account. The transaction processed through my bank correctly, but I'm just concerned about the difference. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi LIz

     

    There is no need to be concerned; what you have described is normal and forms part of Apple Pay's built-in security and privacy features.

     

    When you add a payment card to Apple Pay on a device, each combination of card and device (Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad) is given a unique Device Account Number. The last four digits of that number are what you saw on the receipt. When you make a purchase using Apple Pay, the merchant never sees your actual payment card number.
