Apple Pay FAQs

What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is an easier way to pay. Apple Pay is an application for your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or newer iPhone, that allows you to pay for items using your iPhone as opposed to using your plastic card. This is available at participating merchants that have a contactless NFC reader at their retail location. You can also use Apple Pay with some in-app purchases on your iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and above, that is connected with an Apple Watch, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 3.

How do I set up Apple Pay?

Add a card to your iPhone or iPad:

  1. On your iPhone, open Wallet. On your iPad, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
  2. Tap Add Credit or Debit Card. 
  3. If you have a supported credit or debit card on file with iTunes, enter the card’s security code. Otherwise, use the camera to capture the information on your credit, debit, or store card. Then fill in any additional information needed, including the card security code.
  4. Tap Next. Your bank will verify your information and decide if you can add your card to Apple Pay. If they need more information, they'll ask you to provide additional verification. You can verify your card any time after you add it. Just return to Wallet on iPhone or Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay on iPad, and follow the steps.
  5. After your card is verified, tap Next. Then you can start using Apple Pay.

How does Apple Pay work?

Apple Pay utilizes Near Field Communication (NFC) in order to make contactless payments possible at enabled payment terminals. Apple Pay uses your iPhone’s TouchID sensor to validate the user in the transaction. A unique digital code (token) is created specifically for your device. This token is used to authorize purchases in place of your card. It is not readable, usable, or understandable by anyone other than your financial institution. This process creates a fast, simple, and secure payment process for consumers and businesses alike.

How do I use Apple Pay?

  3. Put your compatible iPhone near the contactless payment terminal
  4. Use default card or select appropriate card for payment
  5. Place your thumb on the TouchID sensor on your iPhone

In addition your fingerprint needs to be verified using your phone’s TouchID to authorize the purchase.
