After my wallet got stolen, I decided to remove all the tap and pay capabilities from my credit and debit cards. The downside is, all the banks use tap and pay enabled cards and if I want to have this disabled I have to manually cut the chip and the antenna for tap and pay. So far so good, I found a guide on YouTube that shows how to do that.

However, I am stuck on the iPhone app side, I can't find anything on the App Store that scans the NFC (EMV) info on the cards; such an app is needed to detect if the chip and antenna are still active. The guy on Youtube used the Android App called Credit Card Reader NFC (EMV) , but I can't find an equivalent app on iOS. Does anyone know of an iPhone app that I can check if my credit card works or not for tap and pay?
