According to an association, using contactless card payment like Apple Pay reduces the risk of frauds. Furthermore, the association also released data that touchless card transaction is growing at a faster rate. Its volume has been increased from 287 million pounds in January to 567 million pounds in June. A total of 2.5 billion Pounds money was spent in the first half of 2015 as compared to 2.32 billion pounds in 2014.
Using Apple Pay or any other NFC based payment services, you rely less on cash and also avoid the risk of any frauds. Apple Pay in the UK was launched in July with 250,000 stores and eight regional banks supporting it. I am sure in the near future many stores will support Apple Pay.
To use Apple Pay, you will have to set up Apple Pay on iPhone before you start making cashless transactions using NFC. All iPhone models like iPhone 8, iPhone X. It’s also available on Apple Watch through Passcode.
