Apple Pay Paying Apple Card balance

[t0m3k]

Can I make my Apple Card payment without having the WiFi enabled on my iPhone just using the data plan included in my phone's plan?

You don't need to have an internet connection to use Apple Card and Apple Pay because it uses NFC chip for the transaction.

If you're asking if you can make a payment toward your Apple Card balance when your phone is on cellular and not wifi the answer is yes.

I think he’s talking about a payment of the card’s balance, not a payment for a purchase made at a store using apple pay. The former does require an internet connection, but that could certainly be the one provided by the phone’s cellular data service. In short, the answer to OP’s question would be yes.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying that.
