Apple Cash users face identity checks and potential external funding changes

Apple has notified Apple Cash users of two upcoming modifications to its service terms. The first change requires users to complete identity verification, a process that may involve additional steps to confirm their status. The second potential update, which lacks a specific implementation date, would allow Green Dot Bank to enable 'Externally-Initiated Funding Transactions.' This feature would permit users to transfer funds directly from external banks or merchants into their Apple Cash Card, subject to certain limits. Apple also highlighted revisions to the arbitration section of Green Dot’s terms, urging users to review these changes as they affect dispute resolution rights. No other significant updates were detailed in the notification.

Walmart Keeps Apple Pay Out of U.S. Stores, Bets on Its Own Payment System

Walmart still blocks tap-to-pay in U.S. stores, with NFC turned off at checkout, so customers can’t use Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or card tapping. Instead, Walmart pushes its own Walmart Pay and Scan & Go through the Walmart app, a setup tied to purchase-tracking and privacy considerations. Apple Pay remains available in Canada, but not in the United States as of 2026.

T-Mobile Closes AutoPay Loophole, Ending Customer Discounts

T-Mobile is ending a workaround that allowed customers to get an AutoPay discount while paying with credit cards or Apple Pay by pre-paying their bills early.

This change aligns T-Mobile with other carriers that restrict AutoPay discounts to bank or debit payments, removing a competitive advantage for some users.
