Apple Pay users can go to the Wallet app on their device, tap the card you want to remove, then then tap the ‘More’ or ‘Info’ icons and then tap ‘Remove Card’. If you remove a card, you can add it again later.
Google Wallet™ users can also disconnect their cards from the Google Wallet™ app. Simply tap the card, then click ‘More’ which is located at the top right and then click ‘Remove payment method’.
In the case of Apple Pay, when your card is replaced, your Apple Pay will update automatically so your card will remain active throughout. On the other hand, Google Pay will become inactive whenever a card expires, or a new card is requested. This means that you will need to add your new card to Google Pay to continue using the service.
Apple users who have activated ‘Find My iPhone’ can use this service to locate and secure their iPhone. Alternatively, you can sign in to your Apple ID account from any Mac or PC and select the lost device in the Devices section. Then, go to the Wallet & Apple Pay section and click ‘Remove Items.’ You can also access your device through another iPhone or iPad by going to ‘Settings’, inserting your name, selecting the lost iPhone and tapping ‘Remove Items’ (below Wallet & Apple Pay).
Android users should go to android.com/find and sign into their Google account from where you can remotely lock and sign out of your device as well as delete all the content.
