Billed, but you didn’t buy? - Apple Community


Apple Pay itself is a mechanism for using payment cards, and Wallet is where the card info is accessed. This much like a real wallet. The wallet itself doesn’t bill anything or anyone. Not sure how that’s taking out money. It’s usually a vendor charging something to a payment card. It;s not the wallet itself.

Have no idea, you have not provided enough information for any assistance.

  • What card are you talking about?
  • What does the transaction say when tapping the card?
  • Is this Apple Cash?
  • If this is a Credit/Debit card added to the Wallet?

Apple Cash took my money twice right now. Deposited 20$ into PrizePicks, isnt reflected there or in my Apple wallet. Deposited another 20$ into Underdog and the same thing happened. Both time gave me an error but took the money from my wallet account both times. Shows payment is pending Apple wallet side. Each an hour apart.
