Adding a Gmail address to my Apple Pay account.

If I add an Gmail address to my Apple Pay card to receive money, would that address can withdraw money from the debit card associated with my Apple Pay account?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

You will have to be more specific on what you mean by adding a gmail address to your Apple Pay Account.

  • There is no Apple Pay Account.
  • You can use a gmail address as your Apple Account email address.
  • Cards added to your Wallet are used for Apple Pay, simply to process a transaction securely without the retailer knowing the actual account number of the card used.
  • The cards in your Wallet are linked to your Apple Account and when you sign out of your Apple Account, all cards are removed from the device.
  • If you are talking about Apple Cash, you can read more information here. You can add money to Apple Cash from a debit card or send/receive money to others who have an Apple Account who have also set up the Apple Cash card.
