If you have an old card or card pass, you may want to delete it from Apple Wallet. You can remove a card in several ways, including through the Wallet app or through the Settings app. The process is easy, and there are a number of reasons why you might need to do this. Whether you’re going to a new bank or switching up your credit cards, it’s not a bad idea to clean up your wallet.
To remove a card from Apple Wallet, open the app and scroll down to the bottom. Tap the “Remove Card” button. This will clear all of the cards from the device. Afterward, you’ll be able to add them back in Wallet.
Another option is to use the Apple ID web interface to remove your cards. You can also email, chat, or call Apple Support. While you’re there, you can choose to remove all of your Apple Pay cards from your account.

Aside from removing a card, you can also delete data from a canceled or expired card. Deleted data is a much easier task than deleting the actual card, however. You can find this information on the Wallet & Apple Pay page in the iOS Settings app. Similarly, the Wallet app allows you to manage your notifications and history. There is also an option to delete passes, which is useful for boarding passes. However, if you don’t want to rely on this feature, you can simply delete a pass.
If you don’t have a Wallet app, you can open it by tapping on the lock screen or Control Center. You can also open it by opening System Preferences. Once you’ve opened the Wallet & Apple Pay page, you’ll see a list of your connected credit cards. Select the one you want to delete. When you’re ready, tap the “Remove Card” button.
Removing an Apple Pay card isn’t as complicated as it sounds. It takes a couple of taps to get it done. In addition, if you’re using the Touch ID security feature on your iPhone, you’ll need to sign out of iCloud first.
Lastly, you can try reactivating the card with BILnet. This should be your last resort, though. Activating a card will require a mobile app. After you’ve completed this step, you’ll be able to use the card.

Depending on your device and the type of card you’re removing, the process will differ. For example, a debit card will be removed immediately when the device is offline, while a transit card will be removed the next time the device goes online. Likewise, Express Transit cards are also removed.
Fortunately, Apple makes it relatively easy to remove all of your cards from your iPhone or Mac. In fact, you can do it with just a few taps. As long as you have the right card, you’ll be able to remove all of your Apple Pay cards with ease. Remember that you’ll lose the ability to use your phone for purchases when you do this, but you can always add cards in the future.
