The good news is that Apple Pay is significantly more secure than a magnetic-strip credit card and has advantages over chip-embedded cards too. First, theft prevention is baked in. A typical thief can\u2019t use Apple Pay from your device because they can\u2019t get past Touch ID or Face ID, or provide your Apple Watch passcode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">Also, the store where you shop gets no data about you\u2014they don\u2019t know who you are, where you live, what your card number is, or anything else unless you showed a rewards card or provided your phone number. Most importantly, you don\u2019t have to worry about your credit card number being jotted down, scanned, or skimmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">How does this seemingly magical process work? When you set up Apple Pay, the Wallet app sends your encrypted credit card details to Apple, after which they\u2019re passed along to your card\u2019s payment network. What comes back is an encrypted Device Account Number\u2014a long number that\u2019s stored in the Secure Enclave chip on your device. That chip is protected by a digital moat, keeping it isolated from nearly all activity on your device. The Device Account Number is unique to your device and card, so nobody else can use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">When you pay with Apple Pay, the Secure Enclave chip transmits the Device Account Number, along with a few other details, including a one-time transaction code. Everything is encrypted, so even if an attacker were listening to the traffic, no transaction details would be revealed. The information remains encrypted until it reaches the appropriate party, at which point, if all goes well, your transaction is approved and processed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">Millions of payment terminals in the United States accept Apple Pay, including those found in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-pay\/where-to-use\/\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">most major national chains<\/a><span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">, so you shouldn\u2019t have to look far to find one. You can also use Apple Pay in some iOS apps and some Web-based shopping carts when checking out in Safari.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">To set up Apple Pay, on your iPhone or iPad, tap Settings &gt; Wallet &amp; Apple Pay &gt; Add Credit or Debit Card and follow the easy instructions\u2014it\u2019s fine to let the device scan your card so that you don\u2019t have to type your credit card number; the image is discarded immediately after setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">After adding a card, find it in the Wallet app and tap the card\u2019s info button at the lower right to explore the Info and Transactions screens. Notice that four digits from the card\u2019s Digital Account Number appear on the Info screen\u2014if you want to return an Apple Pay purchase, you\u2019ll give these digits to the merchant instead of sharing your credit card number.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5955\" data-attachment-id=\"5955\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Apple-Pay-transactions\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-1024x734.png\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-300x215.png\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions.png\" data-orig-size=\"3403,2438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/apple-pay-is-faster-easier-more-secure-and-more-private-than-using-credit-cards\/apple-pay-transactions\/\" height=\"572\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions.png 3403w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-768x550.png 768w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-1024x734.png 1024w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Apple-Pay-transactions-1080x774.png 1080w\" style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"798\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">Finally, starting in iOS 11.2, Apple introduced Apple Pay Cash, which lets you make person-to-person payments within the Messages app. It\u2019s great for splitting restaurant checks!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;\">The bottom line is that Apple Pay is easy to use, is completely private, and enhances your financial security.
