Apple Pay is a feature and you do not need a Social Security number to use that feature. What you need is a credit/debit card in the Wallet app to use with Apple Pay.

  2. Scroll to: The first time that you verify your identity, you might be asked for this information:
  3. As it Reads: Your Social Security number
