Can I Add Apple Cash Family To My 12-Year-Old Son's iPhone 13?

Hi,


I want to know how to activate Apple Cash Family. I have heard that it's basically Apple Pay for people under the age of 18, but their Apple Pay access is restricted. I'm not too sure what it restricts though,.


I recently talked with my local bank to see if they did bank accounts for people under 18, and they did; so I got him one (I am not specifying anything about his card for security reasons) and he would like to add it to his iPhone 13. I am already completely aware that the normal Apple Pay is not available to people under the age of 13.


If someone had an answer for me, that would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you :)

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Your son will be able to use Apple Cash, but will not be allowed to add the debit card to his Apple Wallet until he is 13.


“If you're under 13 years old, you can't add a debit card to Wallet to use with Apple Cash.”


Set up and use Apple Cash Family - Apple Support
