  • Scroll down to see your devices associated with your iCloud account and select your old iPhone.
  • Scroll down to see the Apple Pay section and you should see “A-State Access Card”. Tap “Remove Card.” This will remove all your cards on your Wallet including your A-State Access.
  • Once the card is removed from your old iPhone, you can log into the eAccounts app on your new iPhone and follow the steps to add the card on your new phone.
  • If you have a new Apple Watch, you can follow the same steps to remove the card from the old watch.
