Privacy and security of iPhone built in.

Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn't store card numbers or PIN information on Apple servers, helping to protect your business and customer data. So merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.

PIN transaction protection.

Transactions that require PIN entry will automatically prompt a PIN entry screen when using Tap to Pay on iPhone. During a transaction, Tap to Pay on iPhone is designed to prevent all photo, video, screenshot, and screen-recording features on the merchant's iPhone from capturing a customer's card number or PIN information.

Accessible for everyone.

For customers needing visual or other assistance, accessibility options are built into Tap to Pay on iPhone to help them securely enter PIN information. Audible instructions guide customers to draw their PIN on the screen or tap the screen to indicate each digit, tapping once for 1, twice for 2, and so on. To submit their PIN, they simply swipe right with two fingers.
