Users need only bring their mobile phone with Apple Pay when doing their shopping as the credit card is already stored within the device’s system. For online shopping in apps or in websites, Apple Pay verifies identities through face or touch ID.

“We are delighted to expand the range of our digital wallets so that all our customers can benefit from our digital capabilities regardless of the mobile operating systems they use,” Kumar added.

Using a credit or debit card with Apple Pay ensures that actual card numbers are not stored on the device nor on Apple servers as a unique Device Account Number is assigned and stored within the user’s device.
