Through Apple ID
One of the easiest and fastest ways to view and delete your credit cards on your phone is through your Apple ID. Since your Apple ID has all of your information and is the one you use to make purchases, you can also find your credit card details.
If you want to remove your saved credit card from your Apple ID, here’s what you can do:

Is My Credit Card Info Secure on the Iphone?
Your iPhone doesn’t store your credit card information on your phone, nor does it share your details with other accounts. Although other info, like the iCloud photos and Contacts, get synced across other Apple devices, your card info never gets synced.
Besides that, there are additional security functions, like the Face ID and your passcode. With such security, anyone else can’t easily access your credit card info and make purchases through Apple Pay. What’s more, you get an exclusive and secure Device Account Number from Apple Pay.
So, your private info, like your credit card info, is very secure on the iPhone. However, we recommend being careful with sharing your phone with others. It’s best not to let other people take screenshots or screen record on your phone.
