Using ApplePay can be simpler than using a physical card, and safer too. With your cards stored in the Wallet app, you can use ApplePay to make secure payments in stores, for transit, in apps, and on websites that support ApplePay.

Note: The availability of ApplePay and its features varies by country or region. See the Apple Support article Countries and regions that support ApplePay.

To set up ApplePay, add your debit, credit, and prepaid cards to Wallet.
