Do my cards in my Apple Wallet transfer to new iPhones?

Can i somehow transfer the cards on my iphone wallet if i log into another iphone with the same icloud account? Or can i see with my icloud account which cards i have in my wallet if i log into another iphone device?


And my second question is if the cards in the wallet are linked to my iphone device or my icloud account?

Financial instruments do not sync. Their information is stored in the Secure Element and it’s separate from the regular data that backs up to iCloud. If you’re backing up Wallet & Apple to your iCloud, some information may transfer and will be in the Previous Cards section of your Apple Wallet app.


Cards will still need to be added and verified with the issuing bank.

Your Apple Wallet and cards are linked to your Apple ID, if you log into another iPhone with that same Apple ID, your Wallet and cards should be there.


In addition, iCloud secures your Wallet data—like passes and transaction information—by encrypting it when it's sent over the Internet and storing it in an encrypted format when it's kept on Apple’s servers.
