What Is Apple Pay and How Can You Use It for MoneyTO Transfers?

MoneyTO customers can now use Apple Pay to pay for eligible money transfers through the MoneyTO mobile app.

But what is Apple Pay, how does it work, and why has it become such a popular payment method?

What Is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is a digital payment service developed by Apple. It allows users to add an eligible debit, credit or prepaid card to Apple Wallet and use it to make payments through a compatible Apple device.

Apple Pay can be used:

• In shops that accept contactless payments • Within compatible mobile apps • On participating websites • For subscriptions and other digital services

Instead of manually entering card details, customers can select Apple Pay and approve the payment using Face ID, Touch ID or their device passcode.

When Was Apple Pay Introduced?

Apple Pay was first launched in the United States in 2014 and became available in the United Kingdom in 2015.

Since then, it has expanded across many countries and is now accepted by thousands of banks, applications, websites and retailers around the world.

Its popularity has grown because it offers customers a quick and simple way to pay without repeatedly entering their card information.

How Does Apple Pay Make Payments Faster?

During a traditional card payment, customers may need to enter their card number, expiry date, security code and billing information.

With Apple Pay, the eligible card is already stored in Apple Wallet. Customers can therefore review the payment and confirm it directly through their device.

This can be particularly convenient when customers:

• Are making a payment from their mobile phone • Do not have their physical card nearby • Prefer not to enter their card details manually • Regularly use mobile apps and online services

Apple Pay does not replace the customer’s bank card. It simply provides another way to use an eligible card through a compatible Apple device.

Is Apple Pay Secure?

Apple Pay includes security and privacy features built into compatible Apple devices.

The customer’s full card number is not normally shared with the merchant during an Apple Pay transaction. Payments must also be authorised using Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode.

Customers should still follow normal security precautions, such as protecting their device and passcode and contacting their bank immediately if they notice an unfamiliar transaction.

Apple Pay Is Now Available in the MoneyTO App

MoneyTO customers can now select Apple Pay when paying for eligible money transfers through the MoneyTO mobile application.

Customers can prepare their transfer in the usual way by choosing the destination, entering the amount and providing the recipient’s details.

At the payment stage, eligible customers can select Apple Pay and approve the payment directly through their Apple device.

This provides another fast, simple and convenient way to complete a MoneyTO transfer.
