How to automatically or manually accept payments

The first time that you use Apple Cash, you have 7 days to accept the money that you've been sent. After you accept the terms and conditions, payments are automatically accepted and added to your Apple Cash card. You might be asked to verify your identity.

When someone sends you money, it's securely received and kept in Apple Cash. You can use the money right away1 to send to someone, spend with Apple Pay, or transfer the money to your bank account or eligible debit card.

On your iPhone

1. Open the Wallet app, then tap your Apple Cash card.
2. Tap the More button .
3. Tap Automatically Accept Payments or Manually Accept Payments.

If you choose Manually Accept Payments, you'll see Accept in the message when someone sends you money. You have 7 days to accept the money.

To reject a payment, open the Wallet app on your iPhone, tap your Apple Cash card and find the payment under Latest Transactions. Tap the payment, tap the payment again, then tap Reject Payment.

On your iPad

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap Wallet & Apple Pay, then tap your Apple Cash card.
3. Tap Automatically Accept Payments or Manually Accept Payments.

On your Apple Watch

When you change the setting on one of your devices, it updates the setting on all of your devices.

Thanks!
