The advantages of Apple Pay
Pay faster in the store
Unless you're a shopaholic, you don't have your debit card in your hand all the time. That means you have to find your wallet in your bag, which was too full to begin with, find your debit card, and stick it in the payment terminal. This can easily take up to 30 seconds. With Apple Pay, you can pay in 5 seconds. The customers behind you will be thankful!
Pay online with 1 click
You can also pay online with Apple Pay. Earlier, a new screen opened when you chose your desired payment method. Apple Pay is much easier to work with. You choose Apple Pay as the payment method. Put your finger on the fingerprint sensor or smile at your Face ID camera and the payment has been completed. The downside is that we'll all become poor now that paying for things is this easy.
Apple Pay is safer
If you want to pay over € 25, you have to enter your PIN code. What if someone is looking over your shoulder and that same person steals your debit card? You might find your bank account empty. Apple Pay uses your fingerprint or smile as a password. No one can steal your smile.
How secure is Apple Pay?
Paying with your smile? Sounds easy, right? It is. But is it safe? Absolutely. In the list of advantages of Apple Pay, we noted that someone else can't fake your face or fingerprint. Try to hold a photo of your face in front of your device. It won't work. In addition, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and a unique transaction code every time you purchase something. We'll never store your card number on your device or on the Apple servers. Payments will always remain private and your card number won't be shared with us.
