Apple Pay doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you, ensuring all purchases are private.

If the card is found and unset as lost/stolen or unlocked, the card will automatically resume in your digital wallet, provided there are no other restrictions on the card.
If a new card is ordered, it will update to the wallet automatically and you can recommence making payments/purchases using your digital wallet.
There can be several reasons why a transaction is declining. First, you should check for the following issues:
- Is there a message “Complete Verification” below the card in the Apple Pay wallet? If this message is displayed, you’ll need to complete the verification process by requesting a one-time verification code. You will not be able to use Apple Pay until this is completed.
- Make sure your card is activated, is not locked or cancelled
- Check to see if your card has expired
- Check to ensure you have sufficient funds
If your transaction is still declining after running through these troubleshooting steps, get in touch with us on 13 13 86 or via Facebook Messenger for further assistance.
