Disable Apple Pay constantly asking me to enter a credit card

I just updated my iPhone 6 Plus to 10.0.0.1, and aside from the minor and needless changes to the lock screen, I am periodically getting a notification from the Wallet App to add a credit card.

I have never and will never use Apple Pay. I don't care how secure it may be, or how convenient it may be I have no desire to use that feature and I am getting tired of seeing the notification pop up 5 times a day. I have looked through the settings and can't find anything about disabling anything to do with the wallet. Is there a way to disable and turn that off or is this another case of Apple telling people what they should really be doing with their phone?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10

OMG... how immensely annoying that

Apple is not making it easy to get rid of the

'add credit card' prompt out of the wallet.

Another nail in the proverbial. That plus

not being able to use an iphone just like any

other external hard drive. Grrrrrrr.....

If you would like to send a feature request to Apple (such as for an option to remove references to Apple Pay from Wallet), then you can do so here:

Howdy mwoodhead,

It sounds like you are getting excessive prompts to set up Apple Pay on your phone daily. That's certainly unexpected. You can always disable Wallet Notifications in Settings > Notifications. Now, to troubleshoot the issue, I would start by forcing the Wallet, and the Settings apps to close if they are open:

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Then restart the phone and test it out for a bit:

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

mwoodhead,

I feel your pain... I came here looking for answers to the exact same problem. Not only have I just upgraded ios's but also to a brand new iPhone.

I followed Brenden's answer and was reminded of the only fix that has ever worked for me and the fix I always use to stop any notifications.

First go to 'Settings', then 'Notifications', scroll down and tap on 'Wallet'. Now this is the most important part... Do Not close 'Allow Notifications'! You must close EVERYTHING first. Scroll down to the bottom (Wallet Options), turn off Show Previews, then move up to 'Alert style when unlocked' and choose None. Continue up turning off 'Show On Lock Screen', 'Badge App Icon' & 'Show In Notification Center' as you go. Then after everything is turned off, turn off 'Allow Notifications' at the top.

I used to follow Apple's suggestion of just turning off 'Allow Notifications' but it never worked. My games still sent me notifications with it off. After I started shutting everything down it solved the problem.

Good Luck! :-)

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I am now prevented from sending any texts until I set up ApplePay. Is this sone kind if virus or just a terrible marketing strategy bt Apple?

This is not helpful at all. This thread should be taken as such feedback. This "feature" is an offense.

Go to 'Settings' then 'Wallet & Apple Pay'. You will see at the top of that screen 'Apple Pay Cash'... just slide the green dot to the left and Apple Pay will not appear in your wallet.
