You can also send and receive money with friends and family using <a href="https://support.apple.com/apple-cash" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Apple Cash - Official Apple Support">Apple Cash</a> (U.S. only). And with contactless rewards cards in Wallet, you can receive and redeem rewards when you pay using Apple Pay.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple Pay is designed with your security and privacy in mind, making it a simpler and more secure way to pay than using your physical credit, debit, and prepaid cards. Apple Pay uses security features built-in to the hardware and software of your device to help protect your transactions. In addition, to use Apple Pay, you must have a passcode set on your device and, optionally, <a href="/en-euro/108411" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro">Face ID</a>, <a href="/en-euro/102528" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad">Touch ID</a>, or <a href="/en-euro/120145" class="gb-anchor">Optic ID</a>.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple Pay is also designed to protect your personal information. Apple doesn’t store or have access to the original credit, debit, or prepaid card numbers that you use with Apple Pay. And when you use Apple Pay with credit, debit, or prepaid cards, Apple doesn't retain any transaction information that can be tied back to you. Your transactions stay between you, the merchant or developer, and your bank or card issuer.</p> <h2 id="add" class="gb-header">When you add credit, debit, prepaid, or transit cards</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you <a href="/en-euro/108398" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Set up Apple Pay">add a credit, debit, prepaid, or transit card</a> (where available) to Apple Pay, information that you enter on your device is encrypted and sent to Apple servers. If you use the camera to enter the card information, the information is never saved on your device or photo library.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple decrypts the data, determines your card’s payment network, and re-encrypts the data with a key that only your payment network (or any providers authorized by your card issuer for provisioning and token services) can unlock.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Information that you provide about your card, whether certain device settings are enabled, and device use patterns — such as the percent of time the device is in motion and the approximate number of calls you make per week — may be sent to Apple to determine your eligibility to enable Apple Pay. Information may also be provided by Apple to your card issuer, payment network, or any providers authorized by your card issuer to enable Apple Pay, to determine the eligibility of your card, to set up your card with Apple Pay, and to prevent fraud.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">After your card is approved, your bank, your bank’s authorized service provider, or your card issuer creates a device-specific Device Account Number, encrypts it, and sends it along with other data (such as the key used to generate dynamic security codes that are unique to each transaction) to Apple. The Device Account Number can’t be decrypted by Apple but is stored in the Secure Element — an industry-standard, certified chip designed to store your payment information safely — on your device. Unlike with usual credit or debit card numbers, the card issuer can prevent its use on a magnetic stripe card, over the phone, or on websites. The Device Account Number in the Secure Element is isolated from iOS, watchOS, macOS, and visionOS, is never stored on Apple servers, and is never backed up to iCloud.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple doesn’t store or have access to the original card numbers of credit, debit, or prepaid cards that you add to Apple Pay. Apple Pay stores only a portion of your actual card numbers and a portion of your Device Account Numbers, along with a card description. Your cards are associated with your Apple Account to help you add and manage your cards across your devices.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">In addition, iCloud secures your Wallet data — like passes and transaction information — by encrypting it when it's sent over the Internet and storing it in an encrypted format when it's kept on Apple’s servers. You can disable iCloud support on your device by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, and then, next to Saved to iCloud, tapping See All and turning off Wallet. </p> <p class="gb-paragraph"><a href="/en-euro/102651" class="gb-anchor" link-type="ICON">Learn more about how iCloud stores and protects your data</a></p> <h2 id="use" class="gb-header">When you use Apple Pay in stores</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you <a href="/en-euro/102626" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Make purchases using Apple Pay">use Apple Pay in stores</a> that accept contactless payments, Apple Pay uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology between your device and the payment terminal. NFC is an industry-standard, contactless technology that’s designed to work only across short distances. If your iPhone is on and detects an NFC field, it will present you with your default card. To send your payment information, you must authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode (except when you use <a href="/en-euro/105123" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Use Express Mode with transit cards, passes, and keys in Apple Wallet">Express Mode</a> with a payment or transit card). With Face ID or with Apple Watch, you must double-click the side button when the device is unlocked to activate your default card for payment.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">After you authenticate your transaction, the Secure Element provides your Device Account Number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code to the store’s point of sale terminal along with additional information needed to complete the transaction. Again, neither Apple nor your device sends your actual payment card number. Before they approve the payment, your bank, card issuer, or payment network can verify your payment information by checking the dynamic security code to make sure that it’s unique and tied to your device.</p> <h2 id="web" class="gb-header">When you use Apple Pay within apps or on the web</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you <a href="/en-euro/102626" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Make purchases using Apple Pay">use an app or a website that uses Apple Pay</a> in iOS, watchOS, macOS, or visionOS, the app or website that you visit can check if you have Apple Pay enabled on that device. You can manage this option in Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, and in the Advanced tab in Safari settings on your Mac.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">To securely transmit your payment information when you pay in apps or on the web, Apple Pay receives your encrypted transaction and re-encrypts it with a developer-specific key before the transaction information is sent to the developer or payment processor. This key helps ensure that only the app or the website that you’re purchasing from can access your encrypted payment information. Websites must verify their domain every time they offer Apple Pay as a payment option. Like with in-store payments, Apple sends your Device Account Number to the app or website along with the transaction-specific dynamic security code. Neither Apple nor your device sends your actual payment card number to the app.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple retains anonymous transaction information, including the approximate purchase amount, app developer and app name, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction completed successfully. Apple uses this data to improve Apple Pay and other products and services. Apple also requires apps and websites in Safari that use Apple Pay to have a privacy policy that you can view which governs their use of your data.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to confirm a purchase from Safari on Mac, your Mac and the authorizing device communicate over an encrypted channel via Apple servers. Apple doesn’t retain any of this information in a form that personally identifies you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in Settings on your iPhone. Go to Wallet & Apple Pay and turn off Allow Payments On Mac.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad to confirm a purchase initiated from a third-party browser on Mac, PC, or other device, the initiating device and the authorizing device communicate over an encrypted channel via Apple servers. Apple doesn't retain any of this information in a form that personally identifies you.</p> <h2 id="rewards" class="gb-header">When you add and use rewards cards with Apple Pay transactions in stores</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you <a href="/en-euro/111112" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Add, use, and share passes in Apple Wallet">add contactless rewards cards to Wallet</a>, all the information is stored on your device and encrypted with your passcode. You can choose to have a rewards card automatically presented for use in the merchant’s stores when you make an Apple Pay purchase (or you can turn off this setting in Wallet). Apple requires all information sent to the payment terminal to be encrypted. Rewards card information is sent only with your authorization. And Apple doesn’t receive any information about the rewards transaction other than what's displayed on the pass. iCloud backs up your cards and keeps your rewards cards up-to-date on multiple devices.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">If you sign up for a rewards card and provide information to the merchant, such as your name, postal code, email address, and phone number, Apple will receive notification of the signup, but the information that you share will be sent directly from your device to the merchant and is treated in accordance with the merchant’s privacy policy.</p> <h2 id="lost" class="gb-header">If you lose your device and need to suspend or remove cards from Apple Pay</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">If you turned on <a href="/en-euro/102648" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Find My - Official Apple Support">Find My</a> on your device, you can suspend Apple Pay by placing your device in <a href="https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/mmfc0f0165/icloud" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Use Lost Mode in Find Devices on iCloud.com">Lost Mode</a> instead of immediately canceling your cards. If you find your device, you can reenable Apple Pay.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">You can go to your <a href="https://account.apple.com/" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Manage your Apple ID">Apple Account page</a> to remove the ability to make payments with the credit, debit, and prepaid cards that you were using with Apple Pay on the device.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph"><a href="https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/mmfc0ef36f/icloud" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Erase a device in Find Devices on iCloud.com">Erasing your device remotely</a> using Find My also removes the ability to pay with the cards that you were using with Apple Pay. Your credit, debit, and prepaid cards will be suspended from Apple Pay by your bank, your bank’s authorized service provider, your card issuer, or your issuer's authorized service provider, even if your device is offline and not connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network. If you find your device, you can add the cards again using Wallet.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">In addition, you can call your bank or issuer to suspend your credit, debit, or prepaid cards from Apple Pay. The ability to use rewards cards stored on your device is removed only if or when your device is online.</p> <h2 id="cash" class="gb-header">When you send and receive money with Apple Cash (U.S. only) </h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">Apple Cash allows you to send and receive money with other people in Messages and Wallet. When you receive money, it’s added to your Apple Cash card that can be used to make purchases using Apple Pay in stores, in apps, and on the web. Person to person payments and the Apple Cash card are services provided by Apple’s partner bank, Green Dot Bank, member FDIC. You can learn how Green Dot Bank protects your information by reviewing <a href="https://applecash.greendot.com/privacy" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Green Dot Bank Privacy Policy">their privacy policy</a>.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you <a href="/en-euro/109304" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Set up Apple Cash">set up Apple Cash</a>, the same information as when you add a credit or debit card may be shared with Green Dot Bank and with Apple Payments Inc. Apple created Apple Payments Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary and licensed money transmitter, to protect your privacy. Your Apple Cash account registration information (name, address), balance, transaction amounts, and who you send money to or receive money from are stored separately by Apple Payments Inc. in a way that the rest of Apple doesn't know. Your personal data stored with Apple Payments Inc. is used only to provide you services that you request, for troubleshooting, regulatory purposes, and to prevent fraud.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">To verify your identity, you may be asked to provide information including your name and address to the bank and their identity verification service provider. This information is used only for fraud prevention and to comply with U.S. financial regulations. Your name and address is securely stored by the partner bank and Apple Payments Inc., but any additional information that you’re asked to provide — such as Social Security number, date of birth, answers to questions (e.g., confirm street name you have previously lived on), or a copy of your government ID — can’t be read by Apple.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">When you use Apple Cash — including when you <a href="/en-euro/108370" class="gb-anchor" aria-label="Add money to Apple Cash">add money or transfer money</a> to a bank account — our partner bank, Apple, and Apple Payments Inc. may use and store information about you, your device, and your account to process the transaction, for troubleshooting, to help prevent fraud, and to comply with financial regulations. Apple may provide Apple Payments Inc. with approximate use patterns from your device about how frequently you communicate with that person by phone, email, or in Messages. The content of your communication isn’t collected. This information is stored for a limited time, and in such a way that it is not linked to you unless the associated transaction is determined to require further analysis due to suspicious activity.</p> <h2 id="transit" class="gb-header">More information about using Apple Pay with your transit card</h2> <p class="gb-paragraph">If you designate a transit card that you added to Apple Pay as an Express Transit card, you can pay and ride without having to use Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode first. You can manage Express Transit on your iPhone in Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, and on your Apple Watch via the Apple Watch app.</p> <p class="gb-paragraph">You can temporarily suspend transit cards by using Find My to place your device into Lost Mode. Or you can remove transit cards by erasing your device remotely using Find My or by removing all cards from your <a href="https://account.apple.com/" class="gb-anchor">Apple Account page</a>.
