What is Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service provided by Apple that allows you to make payments in person, in iOS apps and online. You can use it with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
Apple uses security features built-in to the hardware and software of your device to help protect your transactions. Apple doesn’t store or have access to your full card details, and these are not stored on your device or shared with merchants when you use Apple Pay. Merchants are only provided with your Device Account Number.
Each transaction is authorised by your Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode and a confirmation is displayed in the Wallet. This shows the merchant name, where and when the transaction occurred and the amount of the payment or refund.
If you misplace your phone or tablet you can use Apple’s Find My app service to remotely lock your device or permanently erase the data on your device (including your card details) to prevent further Apple Pay transactions being processed.
