Update Billing Address in Apple Pay

There are two locations on your phone, Wallet app and in Settings Apple Pay, just one in Settings on an iPad. Check there for the included billing address. If it is incorrect and you are unable to get the correct address to remain then there are two options. First, which I did, is to have a new card/account issued by the bank or financial institution. Make certain that they have your current, correct address. Then delete the old card and enter the new one. In contacts you should only have one, the current address, appearing. The new card will pick that address up. The old address will still be displayed but you should now be able to delete it permanently. Again, this is the method I used and I’ve had no further issues.

The second and probably simpler way is to create a new contact card for you with all the relevant information. Then delete the original contact (me) card and make that newly created card your Me card. Then check Walket and Settings to delete the old address if it appears and select the new one that should have been picked up from your new contact card.

Reading through all these threads and posts this seems to be an iCloud/Contacts issue. For some of us whatever was the first address associated with a card becomes “stuck.” For me just getting a new card worked. But if this occurs again I’ll change my contact card because that’s where the problem seems to be.

Yes, it seems to be an issue with Contacts. Editing your contact card may work although you may find after you restart your device that the old address returns. If so, what seems to be the permanent solution is to create a new contact card and make this your “me” card duplicating the correct info from the the old card and then deleting the old card.

I had tried just just changing the address info in my card by editing it but while I was able to delete the old address from Apple Pay data, it returned after a device restart or iOS update. Just completely eliminating that card and creating a new one seems to be the permanent solution. However for me I had my bank issue me a new card with new account number. That turned out to be the permanent fix for me.

It’s funny that I thought I had conquered the problem in iOS 10 by editing my contact card. But iOS 11 brought it back and caused it to appear on my iPad Pro when it had previously only been an issue on my phone. That’s why I just gave up and had a new credit card issued. No problem since. But then saw the post above about deleting the current “me” contact card and creating a new one. That does seem to pinpoint the problem to iCloud contacts. Perhaps one of the iOS updates corrupted the card causing that old address to stick around. Deleting it and creating a new one gets rid of the corrupted data.

My method of getting a new credit card fixed this for me but if I move again my current address may stick to that card. If so then I’ll create a new contact card and delete my current one. When I went to my bank to get a new credit card issued the rep told me I could just edit the address in Apple Pay settings. I let her do it, then restarted my phone to show her how the old address had just come right back. She immediately processed my new card request.

Yes if you delete credit cards but then add the same ones back the old address will always return. Something related to your contact card will permanently attach the first address associated with the credit card. That’s why I believe it’s somehow related to an iCloud corruption related to Contacts.

I have to warn you that it may appear as iOS 11 fixed this for you, don’t be surprised if it returns after an upcoming update. I thought my issue was solved and then came iOS 11. For me I may have a problem if and when I move because my current address is the first one associated with the new credit card. If that occurs I’ll try the deletion of my contact card and creating a new one.

You need to contact the media! This has vexed me and so many others for, as you said, years now. If my new card gives me trouble I will remember this. Again great job!!!!!!!!
