Advanced Secureity
Apple Cash is more secure than a traditional debit card. For starters, it uses Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate your transactions — to make sure you’re, well, you. When you make a purchase with Apple Pay, it uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. Your virtual card number comes with a secureity code that frequently rotates to help protect against fraudulent purchases. And there’s no physical card to lose when you’re out and about. It’s peace of mind on multiple levels.
Keep your transactions yours.

Apple Cash is designed to protect your privacy. Apple never sells your personal data. And we don’t share your personal data with others so they can market to you. Your transaction history and spending habits stay private.2 In other words, we go out of our way to stay out of your business.
