Pay by Phone

by Mike Hunter

applepayApple enters the virtual wallet market with Apple Pay, which allows purchases to be paid from the user’s bank account through an iPhone or other mobile device. The transaction can be at the point of sale, through an app or online, and is anonymous in all cases. The user loads payment information into his or her device, but for security it is actually a Device Account Number assigned by Apple that is encrypted and stored.
