Apple Advice
Can a child use Apple Pay?
Yes, children can use Apple Pay, but this depends on the bank and how the account is set up:
- Parents can open a bank account for their child and add the card to Apple Pay via the Family Sharing function.
- Parents can set limits on spending and purchases via the Wallet app.
- Not all banks support Apple Pay for young people under 18, so check with your bank.
Apple Pay can be a convenient and secure way for children to make small purchases, but it's important that parents supervise the transactions and settings.
Check with your bank for the specific terms and conditions for setting up Apple Pay for young people to ensure everything is set up correctly.
