For consumers and merchants alike, that means that every purchase made with a MasterCard using an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus or Apple Watch will offer the security, benefits and guarantees of any MasterCard transaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In shops,\u00a0consumers can pay contactlessly simply by holding their iPhone near a contactless terminal and authenticating with Touch ID. For purchases within an app, consumers\u00a0simply\u00a0touch to pay\u00a0and authenticate with their fingerprint or passcode for a seamless experience\u00a0without\u00a0having to enter their card number or leave the app.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MasterCard is working with several banks, including: HSBC; MBNA; RBS\/Natwest and Santander, to enable users of an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus or Apple Watch to use their MasterCard\u00a0credit, debit or prepaid cards\u00a0directly through\u00a0Apple Pay.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When a customer adds a credit or debit card to Apple Pay, the actual card number is not stored on the device, nor on Apple\u00a0servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApple Pay, combined with MasterCard\u2019s digital payments technology, gives consumers a simple, convenient and secure way to shop,\u201d saidMark Barnett, President of MasterCard UK &amp; Ireland. \u00a0\u201cMasterCard was first in the world to offer contactless and mobile payment solutions, and Britons have rapidly adopted tap and pay behaviour. In the UK, we make more than 10 contactless payments every second, and on Transport for London alone, commuters tap to pay over one million times a day. With this clear shift in payment preference so strongly embedded, we are excited that MasterCard cardholders will soon be able to make payments from\u00a0some of their\u00a0 Apple devices, knowing that every purchase is secure and offers all the same\u00a0guarantees and benefits they\u2019ve come to expect from using their MasterCard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and bene\ufb01ts offered by their payment cards, and the consumer protection afforded by MasterCard remains the same.
