Exciting news for Commonwealth Bank and Bankwest customers! You can now tap and pay with Apple Pay, making your shopping experience even more convenient and secure.
For those new to the concept, Apple Pay allows you to make secure payments using just your iPhone or Apple Watch, eliminating the need to carry around physical cards. It works with contactless payment terminals, meaning you can easily pay for items at stores, restaurants, or even within apps on your devices.
To set up Apple Pay with your Commonwealth Bank or Bankwest card, you will need an eligible device. These include iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later models, as well as Apple Watch. Once you have a compatible device, follow these simple steps to get started:
1. Open the Wallet app on your iPhone and tap on the "+" sign to add a new card.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to add your Commonwealth Bank or Bankwest card to Apple Pay.
3. Verify your card through a verification process provided by your bank.
After completing these steps, you are all set to use Apple Pay at supported locations. Just hold your device near the contactless terminal, and your payment will be processed securely with no need to exchange physical cards or provide a PIN.
One of the key benefits of using Apple Pay is the added security it offers. Your card details are not stored on the device or shared with merchants during transactions. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned to each card, making every transaction secure and protecting your sensitive information.
In addition to physical stores, Apple Pay can also be used for online purchases in apps and on websites that support this payment method. This adds another layer of convenience for those who enjoy shopping online or using various services that accept Apple Pay.
What makes this announcement even more exciting is the growing support for Apple Pay in Australia. With Commonwealth Bank and Bankwest joining the list of financial institutions offering this service, more customers now have the option to enjoy the benefits of contactless and secure payments through Apple's platform.
If you're a Commonwealth Bank or Bankwest customer, don't miss out on the opportunity to enhance your payment experience. Take advantage of Apple Pay to streamline your transactions and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with using a secure and convenient payment method.
With these simple steps and added security features, using Apple Pay with your Commonwealth Bank or Bankwest card is a seamless way to make payments in stores, online, and on compatible apps. Embrace the future of payments and start tapping and paying with confidence today!
