Apple Pay Cash, a virtual card that will hold the funds you receive from friends and family through the Cupertino company's new peer-to-peer money transfer service in iOS 11, will be available later this fall as an update to iOS 11 and watchOS 4.

Apple on Thursday seeded iOS 11 beta 9 to developers.
