Apple is switching its virtual Apple Cash card to the Visa network

Apple is switching its Apple Cash virtual debit card to the Visa network, just days after the company rolled out new fraud protection for Apple Pay transactions.

The shift is hinted at in updated images on the Apple Cash webpage and in supporting documentation. Some images have been swapped to reflect the Apple Cash card, which is now a Visa debit card. The switch, which apparently took place on April 19, was first spotted by Twitter user Kanjo.

Cards currently stored in Wallet do not display the Visa logo, so the conversion may not be rolled out to all users yet. It's unclear when existing users will switch cards, but the new Apple Cash account appears to be on the Visa network.

Since all new Apple Cash cards are created on the Visa network, users can force a change to the Visa network by deactivating the Apple Cash card in Settings and reactivating it.

Previously, the Apple Cash card operated on the Discover network through a partnership with Green Dot Bank. Discover is a much smaller network than Visa or MasterCard.

The changes to the network come just days after Apple began quietly notifying Apple Wallet users of enhanced fraud protection features on Visa cards. The new mechanism includes data shared with card networks to ensure transactions are not fraudulent.
