Why this is important?

Online payment scams are common, but using Apple or Google Pay adds an extra layer of protection. These tools hide your real card number and ask for your fingerprint or face to confirm payments - making it safer and faster than typing card details manually. Also more and more places are becoming card only, and all of these places will most likely accept Apple or Google Pay.

If you’ve never used Apple or Google Pay before, don’t worry - we’ll walk you through it clearly and simply. You’ll be using it with confidence in no time.
