After logging into the app, you simply need to select your eligible Credit Card from the ‘Account Summary’ and tap on ‘Add to Apple Wallet’ button. The verification is completed In-App, making the process very quick and secure.

Your Card in Apple Pay is protected by "Touch ID", "Face ID" and/or your device "Passcode". For your security, when you make a purchase using Apple Pay, you must either authenticate it with "Touch ID", "Face ID" or the "Passcode". All of your payment information will be encrypted in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip in your device.

When you add your card to Apple Pay, a Device Account Number is created for that card on that device. It is separate and unique to your device and is different from your physical card number. Your Device Account Number is used to make purchases with your card using Apple Pay.

Plus, a unique transaction code is used for each purchase so your card details are never shared with any merchant or saved on your device.

Apple's use of your personal information is solely governed by Apple's privacy policy. Apple Pay is designed to protect your personal information. Apple does not know where you shopped, what you purchased or how much you spent. Apple Pay doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you.

As part of the Apple Pay experience, certain information such as details of your recent purchases will be displayed on your device. At any time, you can turn off the display of transaction history manually for each card. We will never share your physical card number or details with Apple.
