Some Credit Card issuing banks actually went through verification process when a card was aadded to Apple Pay. For example, a colleague added her United Airlines MileagePlus Club Card. She had to verify her identity before the card was approved for Apple Pay.

Meanwhile, another credit card issuing bank which shall remain unnamed, did not go through the verification process when the card was added to Apple Pay.

No, name it. Why should known bad players go unnamed? They're the ones which will ramp up the cost of doing business because they get defrauded, and you can bet it's not coming off their yacht bills.
why would it be un-named? are you employed by them or something? It would be nice to know who has no verification more than anything.
No, I am not employed by any financial institutions.

At that time my colleague added her Wells Fargo card to Apple Pay and it went through without any notifications from the bank. She has been using this card with iTunes store though.

Another colleague added her F&A Federal Credit Union card and went through with little notifications.

First National Bank of Omaha notifies the email address on file that that the card is added to Apple Pay.

US Bank actually sends a letter via mail that the card was added to Apple Pay.

This could change by now.

No, you need to name the bank. Seriously.
