Part 1: How to Set Up Apple Pay Cash
Before starting to set up the Apple Pay Cash in iOS 11.2, please make sure you have the latest iOS 11.2 version installed on your device and you are signed in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID. Once done, proceed with the following steps to set it up:

Part 2: How to Use Apple Pay Cash on iPhone
After the Apple Pay Cash has been well set, let’s get start to use Apple Pay cash on iPhone now. One thing you should pay attention to is that you and the payee both need to be using Apple devices, and to have active iMessage accounts, for this to work.
Now, head over to the Messages app, open or create an iMessage with the person you want to pay.
Then tap on the Apple Pay icon in the app drawer and enter the amount you would like to pay, then hit Pay button.
After that, verify with Touch ID or Face ID, and the money is on its way.
Then he/she will receive an Apple Pay Cash popup in messages.
When you set up Apple Pay Cash, some sensitive information such as your credit or debit card may be shared with the partner bank Green Dot Bank and with Apple Payments Inc. For your data security, we suggest you clean up your iPhone regularly in case of the important data leakage. To thoroughly give iPhone a clean, you can take advantage of a professional iOS cleaning tool, like Tenorshare iCareFone, which is not only capable of removing the unnecessary junk files, temp files, large files, but also erase some personal data including bank account, contacts, emails with one click so that prevent the privacy leakage. So, go get one soon and give it a try.
