1 Its More Secure Than Plastic Cards
This is the big one, right? People still have a hard time storing their financial information in digital wallets, which just don’t feel safe. The truth, however, is that digital payments through Apple Pay are incredibly safe, especially compared to other common options. When payment details are stored in Apple Wallet, they are housed in a safe enclave with no online connection, and only retrieved when necessary. Your payment information is not broadcast over Wi-Fi signals, and cannot be picked up just by standing near you.
In fact, all this security makes Apple Pay safer to use than your actual card. Cards can be stolen, and their information can easily be copied with hidden swiping devices, making them a common source of identify theft around the world. On the same note, typing your information into the computer can be read with malware tracking programs and other types of hacking which can follow everything you’re doing on a site. This type of digital theft is only becoming more common in the world, which is an excellent reason to start using Apple Pay online and in your daily life.
