Apple integrated Apple Pay Card with its mobile payment service yesterday and it seems there have been some alterations made to the service. In addition, Apple also released the final build of iOS 12.2 to users yesterday which is disallowing users to make person to person payments through a credit card. At this point, it still features support for ACH bank transfers. The company also added a new Instant Transfer option which allows users to transfer money from Apple Pay Cash to a supported debit card for a 1 percent fee.
