I have been using Apple Pay for years now. But now it won’t let me send money without verifying my identity. Which is fine. But why is it asking for my social security number?

Once you reach a certain threshold in Apple Cash transactions, you will need to verify your identity and this can include your SS#. Banks must abide by the Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations mandated by Congress and in this case the request is for GreenDot Bank that manages the Apple Cash card. The documentation must be for the owner of the Apple Account used on the device. Attempts to use documentation that is different from the Apple Account owner will likely lead to a disabled/locked Apple Cash card.
Verify your identity for Apple Card or Apple Cash - Apple Support
This isn’t possible. Apple wouldn’t ask for this. There must be something you’re not telling us….
You are correct it is Apple Cash that I was using and now wants my SS#. I totally confused the names there. Thank you for knowing what I meant and clarifying them for me.
