Apple Pay

Make your smartphone smarter

Apple Pay is now the easy, secure and private way to make payments.

Use Apple Pay to pay in-store without swiping your cards and in-app without entering payment and contact information. A single touch of your finger using Touch ID confirms payment.

With Apple Pay, you don’t have to use your actual credit and debit card numbers. When you add your card, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored. And when you make a purchase, the Device Account Number alongside a transaction-specific dynamic security code is used to process your payment.

Your actual credit or debit card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants or transmitted with payment. In addition, paying with Apple Pay is private - the cashier never sees your name, card numbers or security code.
