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

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! :-)

What you need to do it go ahead & set up Apple Pay & then when it is set up it will have a off & on switch & then go through your settings & shut off each part of that App as above go to Notifications & switch off the sounds badge app icon lock scree & show in history & then notifications itself, then go down to the new app Wallet/Apple Pay& do the same thing & shut each one off individually & then the Apple Pay itself. I know it ***** but you already have a credit card for Apple in phone, but I did not have to add my debit card when I did it this way. So I hope that helps.

The annoying thing for me is this is a work phone provided by my company (they like standardisation). So I only use it for calls relating for work, free apps supplied by work and the random scammer. So I don't WANT to enter my personal credit card details on it. Especially since any apps I might want to pay for (such as games) would get me in trouble for putting them on a work mobile (and I put them on my personal android phone instead).

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:

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.
