Pay From Your iPhone or Watch as Chinabank Introduces Apple Pay

Article (news)

<p><strong>Apple Pay</strong> is here—finally! That was our first reaction when we heard about it. We’ve been eyeing our Asian neighbors with jealousy for the past few years, having seen how easy and convenient it was for them to integrate Apple Pay into their lifestyle. We saw this in use in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan, so you can imagine our enthusiasm when we heard that it’s finally in the Philippines, thanks to <strong>Chinabank</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786712058597ApplePay Chinabank Mastercard .jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div> </div><p>With Apple Pay, there’s a new standard of fluidity in everyday transactions. For cardholders, the integration means reclaiming time by way of easier payments. Whether in-store, in-app, or online, the act of purchasing becomes so seamless.</p><p>To pay in-store, you just need to double-click the side button, authenticate, and hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1786712153605ApplePay Chinabank VISA - Pharmacy.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>You’ll be relieved that every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, or a one-time unique dynamic security code. </p><p>Best of all, Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and many more places that accept contactless payments!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Enhancing Secure Payment for Cardholders</strong></div><p>“At Chinabank, we continuously enhance the way our customers pay by providing secure and convenient experiences that are aligned with our customers&#x27; evolving needs. With Apple Pay, our cardholders can enjoy a seamless way to make purchases in stores, in apps, and online using the Apple devices they use every day,” says Jose Julian E. Baduria, Jr., Payment Solutions Head of Chinabank. </p><p>“This reflects our focus on delivering best-in-class payment experiences all while enabling our customers to continue enjoying the rewards and benefits of their Chinabank cards,” he adds.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmetrodotstyle%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02Hgyxk7w7vHfVywx1Pefqdu2CfTnvUw2UoUb6whU9RYjSpD5Tv5fWyt51gpaxDvSol&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="717" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Apple Pay offers security and privacy. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, and they can’t be found on Apple servers. </p><p>Instead, you’ll be assigned a unique Device Account Number, which is encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element, an industry-standard, certified chip designed to store the payment information safely on the device. </p><p>Purchasing then becomes a safe and frictionless endeavor; no account creation, no repeated data entry, just the freedom to finalize a choice with a touch.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>How to Get Started</strong></div><p>On iPhone, simply open the Wallet app, tap the ‘+’, and follow the steps to add Chinabank credit or debit cards. Once you add a card to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, you can start using Apple Pay on that device right away. You’ll continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by Chinabank cards. </p><div><br/></div><p>For more information on Apple Pay, visit: <a href="https://www.apple.com/ph/apple-pay/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.apple.com/ph/apple-pay/</a> </p><div><br/></div><p>For more information on Chinabank, please visit <a href="https://www.chinabank.ph/applepay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.chinabank.ph/applepay.</a></p>
