Apple Pay is a payment platform that allows you to make payments.
Apple Pay is a payment platform that allows you to make payments from ALL your bank accounts without having to carry cards or cash.
Apple Pay is Apple’s contactless payment technology. With it, users can simply place their iPhone up to a contactless card terminal and press their finger to their iPhone’s Touch ID to authenticate for their purchase. With newer iPhones with Face ID, users will simply scan their face to authenticate a purchase.
