Verification code for debit card

How do I update the mobile number the verification text is sent to update my card in Apple Pay? I’ve changed all contact details on iPhone and iPad and it still wants to use my old work phone number rather than my personal mobile.

iPad Air, iOS 12

That number is what your bank has on file as your primary contact number. Apple doesn’t verify you, your device or and personal information. Your bank is verifying you and thus using their information on file.


>>Adding additional verification

A card issuer can decide whether a credit or debit card requires additional verification. Depending on what’s offered by the card issuer, the user may be able to choose between different options for additional verification, such as a text message, email, customer service call or a method in an approved third-party app to complete the verification. For text messages or email, the user selects from contact information the issuer has on file.


A code is sent, which must be entered into Apple Wallet, Settings or the Apple Watch

app. For customer service or verification using an app, the issuer performs their own communication process.
