Apple Pay is a convenient way to make purchases using your iPhone or Apple Watch. It allows users to make payments using their Apple Cash balance or any credit or debit card stored in their Wallet. While you cannot directly link a bank account to Apple Pay, you can link a debit card associated with your bank account. This enables you to transfer funds between your Apple Cash balance and your bank account or make purchases directly from your bank account using the linked debit card. To set up Apple Pay, you need to add your credit or debit card details to your Wallet, which can be done through the Settings app or directly within the Wallet app. Once your card is added, you can make purchases by holding your device near a contactless reader and confirming your identity with Face ID or Touch ID.
