Why does the Epoch Times show up as the merchant on my Apple Pay notifications from time to time? The amount of the charge is accurate but the Epoch Times was not the merchant. I have never purchased anything from the ET.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
I'll use Apple Pay from my wallet to access an Amex card to pay a merchant and then sometimes I receive a notification that the merchant was the Epoch Times. If I check my Amex account it lists the correct merchant.
Where exactly are you seeing it showing up? Is it in your Apple Account in the Settings app or in your Wallet app?
Who is the notification from? Wallet app typically doesn’t send notifications. What does the American Express card in the Wallet app display as the merchant?
It shows up in my wallet. The Amex card in my wallet shows the incorrect merchant, but my Amex account shows the correct merchant.
Epoch Times incorrectly listed on Apple Pay notification as the merchant.
