This service will allow bank customers to make payments quickly and easily from within the application or on the Internet via the Safari browser on iPhone, iPad and Mac computers, without the need to create accounts or enter shipping and billing information each time. Apple Pay can also be used to make in-app payments on your Apple Watch.
Physical card numbers are not stored on the device or on Apple servers. Instead, a device-specific account number is created, encrypted, and then stored in an authorized chip designed to store information.
It’s easy to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, just by opening the Wallet app, pressing the + symbol, and following the steps to add your QNB credit or debit cards. Once customers add their card to their iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac, they will be able to start using Apple Pay on that device right away. It also offers certain rewards and benefits for using the QNB cards.
