With over 90 million iPhone users in the United States alone, Apple phones are constantly in use in businesses across the country. With that in mind, it's no surprise that the company is capitalizing on that by offering their users a way to pay using Apple products, both online and in person.
Anyone with an iPhone, Apple watch, iPad, or Mac computer can have an Apple Pay account. This account allows you to pay for purchases in apps, online, and in a wide range of physical store locations as well. It can be used anywhere that accepts contactless payments, and essentially works by digitizing your physical cards.
For that to work, banks and credit unions have to agree to work with Apple.
