May I first apologize if it had been already asked and direct me to it...
A friend's iPhone 14 had been robbed and been reported to the police
& already £750 gone.
Unable to locate it online as it shows as turned off.
Could anyone access to his bank app without his face recognition or the code?
How could he turn his iPhone not useable by the people robbed.
What is the best way to stop information on the phone been accessed by unauthorized individuals
Should he contact apple?

Thank you for your answer
 
1. He needs to log into appleid.apple.com and initiate a remote wipe of the device.
2. As to the banking app, not unless he had it set to automatically log in, which is highly unlikely.
3. Contact the police and file a report. I don't believe there is anything Apple can or should do at this point.

Hi again
If some body grab your iPhone once you've unlocked (and the robbers group member has got your access code) can you (the owner) some how inactivate your apple pay from your apple watch?
Does anyone know a way to put a stop to Apple pay without iPhone at hand?

My friend's story is long .....
