Apple Pay Cash guide: What it is, how it works, and what it costs
iOS 11.2 adds Apple Pay Cash, which lets you send money to other iOS users right in an iMessage.
Apple Pay Cash Requirements
For starters, both the money sender and receiver need to be running iOS 11.2 or later. Apple Pay Cash was added in iOS 11.2 beta 2, and should be in the final release as well. According to Apple’s support page, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:- A compatible device with iOS 11.2 or later.
- Two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
- An eligible credit or debit card in Wallet, so you can send money.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Live in the United States.
Setting up Apple Pay Cash
Before you can send or receive money, you’ll need to set up the Apple Pay Cash card. It’s essentially a special prepaid card with some financial services provided top Apple by Green Dot Bank. All you have to do is head into the Wallet app, tap on the Apple Pay Cash card, then tap on Set Up Apple Pay Cash. You’ll have to agree to some terms and conditions, but that’s it.
How to send money with your iPhone or iPad
Sending money with Apple Pay Cash is incredibly simple. It’s just an iMessage app.

2. Tap the Apps button and then the Apple Pay button.
3. Press the + or - buttons to adjust the amount, or tap Show Keypad to enter an exact amount.
4. Tap Pay. If you want to add a message here, you can.
5. Tap the send button. You’ll get a summary screen that you’ll need to approve with either Touch ID or Face ID.
That’s all there is to it. The money will be sent immediately, and will be available on the recipient’s Apple Pay Cash card.

How to send money with your Apple Watch
This is just as easy as it is on your iPhone.
1. Open Messages on your Apple Watch and either start a new message or open an existing one.
2. Scroll down past the message and tap on the Apple Pay button.
3. Turn the digital grown to adjust the dollar amount. If you need to be more exact, tap the dollar amount to show the decimal places, then tap the value after the decimal and rotate the digital crown to adjust.
4. Tap Pay. You’ll be prompted to double-click the side button to confirm.
Just open Messages, go to a conversation, and tap the Apple Pay iMessage app like you would when sending money. Enter the amount, and instead of tapping Pay tap the Request button.
There’s no Request button on Apple Watch, but you can use Siri with a phrase like, “Ask Jason for $15 for tacos.”
1. Go to Messages and tap on the payment, or find the payment in the Transaction History of your Apple Pay Cash card in the Wallet app or Settings.
2. Tap the transaction and look for the status field. Tap Cancel Payment. If you don’t see that option, they’ve already accepted the payment.
It may take up to a day for the payment to show up back on your account.
After the first transaction, most users will have Apple Pay Cash set to automatically accept payments (that’s the default), so you probably won’t have much opportunity to cancel. You could always try asking them to pay you back...
Maybe you should cut back on the tacos.
You can also use money on your Apple Pay Cash card to pay for things using Apple Pay. Apps and in-app purchases, retail, online...it’s just another source of money to use within Apple Pay. Just tap on your payment card whenever an Apple Pay summary pops up on screen for you to confirm, or if you're buying something at retail, switch to the Apple Pay Cash card before tapping to the terminal.
The maximum balance you can have on the card is $20,000. You can only send or receive up to $3,000 per message, and $10,000 within a 7-day period.
Taking money off your Apple Pay Cash card is just a little more complicated. You’ll need to add a bank account.
