3. You may be asked to verify your card by receiving a one-time code from your bank or entering your card's security code.
4. Once you've added your card, you can start using Apple Pay.
Making a Payment with Apple Pay
Making a payment with Apple Pay is simple and fast. Here are the steps:
1. When you're ready to pay, hold your iPhone or iPad near a contactless reader.
2. If prompted, authenticate the payment with Touch ID or Face ID.
3. The payment will be made, and a confirmation will appear on your screen.
You can also use Apple Pay to make in-app purchases. Simply select Apple Pay as the payment method and follow the prompts.
Managing Your Cards
You can add, remove, or edit your cards at any time. Here's how:

3. You can add, remove, or edit the card details.
You can also change your default card, which will be used for all Apple Pay transactions unless you manually select a different card during the payment process.
Is Apple Pay Secure?
Yes, Apple Pay is secure. It uses a secure element chip to store your card information, which is encrypted and not stored on Apple's servers. When you make a payment, a one-time transaction code is generated, and your card details are not shared with the merchant. Furthermore, Touch ID or Face ID is required to authenticate the payment, adding an extra layer of security.
