Apple Pay

Apple Pay is safer than using a physical credit, debit or prepaid card. Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode are required for purchases on your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac or iPad. Your card number and identity aren’t shared with merchants, and your actual card numbers aren’t stored on your device or on Apple servers.

When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device will send your actual card number to merchants. When you pay online in Safari or in apps, the merchant will only receive information you authorize to fulfil your order — such as your name, email address, and billing and shipping addresses.

When you pay with a debit or credit card, Apple doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you.
