Apple Wallet minimum age

My daughter is already 13 years old and Apple wallet doesn’t allow me to add her a credit card…is it less than 13 as said above or less than 14?

Hi adomhowei,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Apple wallet doesn’t allow me to add her a credit card:

(Wondering if to your wallet app, or to her wallet app. )


The way I understand it (as an Apple user, like yourself) it all depends on it being 13 years after the birthdate listed in the Apple ID account of the person.


ie 13 years after that birthdate, the person can then use Apple Pay / Wallet / Apple Cash themselves.


Else:

A young person can stay with Apple Cash Family and use Apple Cash under family supervision up until 18 years old
