How to find your Apple private relay email address for your NerdWallet account

How to find the Apple private relay address (@privaterelay.appleid.com) linked to your NerdWallet account, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or the web.

Who this is for:
NerdWallet customers who signed in with Apple and chose to hide their email, and now need to find the private relay address (@privaterelay.appleid.com) associated with their NerdWallet account.

Why you might need this

When you use "Sign in with Apple" and choose to hide your email, Apple creates a unique private relay address ending in @privaterelay.appleid.com. NerdWallet uses this address as the email for your account — not your real Apple email address.

You may need to find this address if:

  • You're trying to recover access to a NerdWallet account you created with Apple Sign-In

  • You have two NerdWallet accounts and need help from our support team to locate the right one

  • You want to sign back into your original NerdWallet account after accidentally creating a new one

On iPhone or iPad

  1. Open Settings and tap your name at the top

  2. Tap Sign-In & Security (on some devices: Sign in with Apple or Password & Security)

  3. Tap Apps Using Apple ID

  4. Find and tap NerdWallet

  5. Your private relay address ending in @privaterelay.appleid.com will be displayed here

On Mac

  1. Open System Settings and click your name

  2. Click Sign-In & Security

  3. Click Apps Using Apple ID

  4. Find and select NerdWallet

  5. Your private relay address will be displayed here

On the web

  1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your Apple account

  2. Go to Sign-In and Security

  3. Click Apps Using Apple ID

  4. Find NerdWallet

  5. Your private relay address will be displayed here

What to do next

  • If you have two NerdWallet accounts and need to close one, follow these steps to close an extra account

  • If your credit score or linked bank accounts disappeared after using Apple Sign-In, see this article

  • If you still need help, contact NerdWallet support and share your private relay address with the teammate — it helps us locate your account quickly

Common questions

Q: What if I don't see NerdWallet listed under Apps Using Apple ID?
If NerdWallet doesn't appear in that list, you may not have used Apple Sign-In to create your NerdWallet account, or the entry may have been removed. Try signing in with your email and password, or contact our support team for help.

Q: Can I change my NerdWallet account email to my real email instead of the relay address?
No — it's not possible to change the email address on a NerdWallet account that was set up with Apple Sign-In. If you need to use a different email address, you would need to close the current account and open a new one. Contact our support team if you need help with this.

Q: Is my data safe?
Yes. Finding or sharing your private relay address doesn't affect your NerdWallet account or data in any way.
