Sometimes you make payments using Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the last digits of the card shown in the transaction may not match the number on your physical card.

This is expected behaviour because these wallets use a virtual card number (Device Account Number) for security.

If we need to verify a payment, you can find this number in their wallet settings.

  • Apple Pay (iPhone)

Step 1:

Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.

Payments made through Apple Pay or Google Pay use a virtual card number.

This is called a Device Account Number.

Because of this, the last four digits may differ from the physical card.
