Heya

Guys was wondering if it possible to add credit cards from different countries/ banks on a single iPhone??

Can Apple pay automatically recognise and use the correct card for the current country i am in?

Thanks

You can only add cards from the country that matches the setting under General/Language&Region on the device. You can change that setting to another country than your home country.

You just need a iTunes id in/for that region.
I have applepay for both my UK and US banks, however i've completely stopped using it now.

So i can add different credit cards from different countries if i change the region ?
Thats easily done

Will the cards added in remain if i change region?
Or do i need to delete and add the cards every time i change location/country?

Sorry can you elaborate?
You created a US id, added a US credit cards. Then changed ID and added in the UK card.

Did Apple Pay delete or block the US credit card? Or can you use both credit card despite the ID??

i have two phones (personal and work) my work phone has an iTunes id that based on the US and i have my US card on that phone. my personal phone is UK based with a UK store iTunes id and i have my UK card on that.

I also noted that the BofA app was not available in the UK store too which causes me issues.
So this way everything works for me how i want it to,

You just add your card to Apple Pay. No need to change anything. Region, language, remain as-is. I have added cards from another country before, without changing my current country/region, although I cannot use them because they are not widely used in my region.
