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?

I would avoid using an employer supplied device for personal use! More often than not these devices are "managed devices" which consists of management profiles that could grant all sorts of permissions from normal diagnostics, restrictions to location, camera and more!

With that said Apple in such case would become the middle man in relatio to the transaction! That means that Apple pay would retain the purchase logs on your card and ~~send a apple.com description to your bank~~ to mask all your purchases! In theory you'd be given more privacy in relation to your bank but you'd be introducing a third party in the process and more potential failure points!

Yes that's a good point, and thank you for the insight
