More information on how to use and manage Apple Pay

A secure, more private way to pay

Every purchase using Apple Pay is authenticated using Touch ID or Face ID. A unique card number is generated specifically for your device, so your physical card’s number is never stored on your device, on Apple servers, or shared with merchants.

Apple Pay doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you, ensuring all purchases are private.

When using Apple Pay, you’ll enjoy the same security and fraud protection you receive with your physical card, for extra peace of mind.

In addition, the terms and conditions and protections that apply to your card, card details and contactless readers will also apply to the use of your card details through Apple Pay on your Apple Device.
  • Unlike contactless payments made using your card, when using Apple Pay at a contactless reader, you won’t always need to enter your card PIN for purchases of $100 or more. It will depend if the merchant has a compatible contactless reader.
  • Not keeping your Apple device’s passcode secure may mean you’re liable for unauthorised transactions. If you think the security of your Apple device’s passcode has been compromised, call us on 13 22 65 (personal) or 13 10 12 (business).
  • Tips for keeping your Apple device’s passcode secure:

o Never store your device passcode on, or with, the device.

o Don’t let anyone else register their biometric identifier (eg. Touch ID, Face ID) to your device.

o Don’t share your Apple device’s passcode with anyone.

Additional cardholders are able to register their card for Apple Pay.
