Apple Pay is Apple's mobile payment service allowing you to make purchases using your iPhone (6 or later), as well as iPad, Mac and Apple Watches. You can learn more about Apple Pay here.

Apple Pay works with iPhone 6 and later in stores, apps, and websites in Safari; with Apple Watch in stores and apps; with iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 and later in apps and websites; and with Mac in Safari with an Apple Pay enabled iPhone 6 or later or Apple Watch.

No, your card details are not stored on the device or in the Cloud. When a card is added to Apple Pay, a Device Account Number replaces the need for the card number.

The Device Account Number is used to make secure purchases in stores and within apps and websites. It will not work if it is compromised in any way and cannot be used outside of the device it is assigned to. The Device Account Number can be found by opening the Wallet app and tapping the (i) symbol in the bottom right corner and then scrolling down to find Device Account Number.

Yes, a card can be added to Apple Pay on up to nine different devices but the card will need to be added to each device separately.

Yes, up to eight cards can be added to Apple Pay on a single device. The first card added to the device will become the default card, but you can change the default card.

You take the item(s) back to the retailer as normal. Some retailers will be able to offer refunds back to the device from which the original payment was made, while others may have to refund the plastic card.

If the retailer is able to refund the device used to make the original purchase, you:

  • Select the card they want to be refunded within the Wallet app
  • Hold the iPhone 6 (or later model) above or near the contactless reader and authorize the refund using Touch ID or the device passcode; or
  • Hold the Apple Watch display up to the contactless reader and double-click the side button to authorize the refund
  • You may need to provide the last four digits of the Device Account Number to the retailer. This can be found by opening the Wallet app and tapping the (i) symbol in the bottom right corner and then scrolling down to find Device Account Number.

It is not possible to show if a transaction was made using Apple Pay, contactless card or chip and PIN.

Yes, Apple Pay is secure. A unique Device Account Number is securely stored on a chip in the device so payment can be made without any card information having to be shared with the retailer.

Other features which help to keep your payments secure and safe include:

iPhone and iPad payments can only be authorised by using Touch ID (if it is enabled), or by entering the device passcode.

Apple Watch payments can only be authorised if the device passcode has been entered and skin contact with the device has not been lost.

Please note: you should never share your device passcode, or register more than one person’s fingerprint to Touch ID, while your card is registered to Apple Pay.

If you have the Find My iPhone app you can use it to remotely lock the device and disable the use of the Apple Pay function.
