I have an iphone for work that I'm also allowed to use for personal stuff. I don't use it often, but it has a great camera and is a useful backup for 2FA if I would lose my primary (android) phone.

It also gives me the option to use Apple Pay. Paying with my android doesn't work, my bank's app is shitty. It would be useful to have an alternative for my bank card, so I was considering setting up Apple Pay.

But I wanted to know: what information will apple get if I use Apple Pay? Do they get the payment details of every payment I make? Will they know anything about payments I make with my card?

that's kind of double edged sword. If Apple would be to mask your purchases, they would most likely have to know about what the purchases are to hide them from the Bank. But in current state I assume (based on the infographic I posted in separate comment), that Apple doesn't know about the purchases much, thus they are not masked on the bank's side.

But I am no expert in this matter, so I may be wrong.
