> hen a card is added to Apple Pay a DPAN is created for that device, and it never gets changed afterwards unless the card is removed and re-added.

They're not generally considered stable in the payments world. They can get rolled periodically, even outside of card addition and removal.




In Apple Pay they are sort of static. Not per merchant, but they don’t cycle by default for any reason. I believe there is a button you can press to have the number changed. I think I’ve seen it before but I’ve never used it.

And of course you could always just remove your card and then re-add it. That would give you a new DPAN.

That's for the Apple Card's virtual card number, which is just a regular old PAN. There is no such button for the DPAN, to my knowledge.


Ah you’re right, I got those confused.

Thanks.
