Because of that, the likelihood of anyone making fraudulent charges is relatively low. Still, the idea that your financial information is stored on a stolen phone is uncomfortable. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to remove Apple Pay information from a stolen device using iCloud so you can rest easy. To remove your credit or debit card from Apple Pay on an iPhone that’s been stolen or lost, follow these steps: After you recover your stolen iPhone or get a new one, you can set up Apple Pay as usual and start using it to make fast purchases again.
