Apple Pay is finally here in Malaysia, and customers can now use the new feature with their iPhones and Apple Watches. The hassle-free and more secure way to shop is available in-store at leading retailers, in apps and even on the web.
Customers do not need to worry about protecting information in the industry. Credit and debit card numbers are not stored on the device or Apple servers. A unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored in the Secure Element on the user’s device instead. Each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
Whether grabbing a coffee at Starbucks, buying essentials from Watsons, or making an online purchase from Shopee, Apple Pay aims to bring speed and convenience to users’ daily lives. Here are some simple steps to setup the Apple Pay app in your device and how to use it.
