Apple Pay payments are safe, secure, and private, as the card numbers are never stored on the user’s device, nor on Apple servers, instead, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and a unique transaction code, additionally, the user’s personal data and card information are protected, and never shared with merchants. Each Apple Pay transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code and requires authenticating the payment using Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.
Checkout is easier and faster with Apple Pay, the user needs to hold their Apple Watch or iPhone in front of a contactless reader, and then complete the payment authentication.
