How do I withdraw from Apple Pay?

Answered by Willie Powers

To withdraw money from Apple Pay, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. Here’s a detailed guide:

1. Open the Wallet app: Locate and open the Wallet app on your iPhone or iPad. This app comes pre-installed on most Apple devices.

2. Select the debit card: Within the Wallet app, you’ll see all the cards associated with your Apple Pay account. Choose the debit card you want to use for the withdrawal. You can have multiple cards linked to your Apple Pay account, so make sure you select the correct one.

3. Find an ATM: Look for an ATM that supports contactless payments or has the Apple Pay logo displayed. These ATMs are equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, allowing you to withdraw money using Apple Pay.

4. Approach the ATM: Once you’ve found a compatible ATM, approach it and locate the contactless symbol. This is usually a small image indicating where you should place your device to initiate the transaction.

5. Use your iPhone or Apple Watch: If you’re using an iPhone, hold it near the contactless symbol on the ATM. If you’re using an Apple Watch, double-click the side button and hold the display of your watch near the symbol. This will establish a connection between your device and the ATM.

6. Confirm with Touch ID or Face ID: Depending on your device, you’ll be prompted to confirm the transaction using either Touch ID (fingerprint) or Face ID (facial recognition). Authenticate yourself by placing your finger on the Touch ID sensor or looking at the screen to complete the verification process.

7. Enter your ATM PIN: Once you’ve confirmed your identity, the ATM will prompt you to enter your ATM PIN. Use the keypad on the ATM to enter your PIN securely. This step is crucial for security reasons and ensures that only you can access your funds.

8. Withdraw your money: After entering the correct PIN, you should be able to select the amount you want to withdraw from your account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the withdrawal process. The ATM will dispense the requested cash, and you’re all set!

Remember, not all ATMs support Apple Pay withdrawals, so it’s essential to look for the contactless symbol or the Apple Pay logo before attempting to withdraw money. Additionally, ensure that your debit card is linked to your Apple Pay account and has sufficient funds to cover the withdrawal amount.

By following these steps, you should be able to withdraw money from Apple Pay using your iPhone or Apple Watch.
