A safer, more secure and private way to pay with iPhone and Apple Watch
Standard Bank Offshore, a leading provider of financial services to people and businesses that supports Africa’s growth by connecting the continent with international markets, today brings its customers Apple Pay, a safer, more secure and private way to pay. This helps customers avoid handing their card to someone else, touching physical buttons or exchanging cash — and uses the power of iPhone to protect every transaction.
The main benefit to Standard Bank Offshore customers is that they avoid having to take their physical card with them when they are out and about, so Apple Pay is convenient, simpler and safer.
Customers simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code which customers input during the setup of their cards with Apple Pay. Apple Pay is accepted everywhere customers see the Apple Pay mark, and makes travelling and using a Standard Bank debit card in the Apple Wallet more convenient.
Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or online without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. Apple Pay makes it easier to pay for everyday items in person or online as well as for items whilst travelling abroad. Apple Pay can also be used to make payments in apps on Apple Watch.
Security and privacy are at the core of Apple Pay. When customers use a debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored in the Secure Element, an industry-standard, certified chip designed to store the payment information safely on the device.
Apple Pay is easy to set up. On iPhone, simply open the Wallet app, tap +, and follow the steps to add Standard Bank Offshore’s debit cards. Once a customer adds a card to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, they can start using Apple Pay on that device right away. Customers will continue to receive all of the benefits offered by Standard Bank Offshore’s debit cards.
