User level: Level 1 (4 points)How do I change the email address associated with my Apple wallet. I have already changed my primary address on my Apple account to my new email address. I have limited access to the email address associated with my Apple wallet so I want to switch it to the same as my primary Email address. I thought this would happen when I changed my primary but it didn’t

Changing your primary Apple Account email doesn’t necessarily change the contact email Apple Pay uses.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, then scroll down to Transaction Defaults and tap Email. Select your new address there, or add it if it isn’t listed.
That’s the email Apple Pay uses as contact information for online and in-app purchases.

Hi, please follow the steps in the Apple Support article I linked below.
About your Apple Account email addresses - Apple Support
Changes may not take place instantly for security and anti fraud purposes. I advise 48 hours.
You should also follow this path,
iPhone > Settings > scroll down > Wallet & Apple Pay > Apple Pay Defaults > Email > Enter New email address >
You’ll also need to contact your banks and make necessary changes.
