Apple Pay Statistics user count and Facts 2023Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service developed by Apple Inc. It allows users to make secure and convenient payments using their iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac.

Apple Pay works by allowing users to link their credit or debit cards to their Apple device, which can then be used to make payments at participating merchants. Payments are made by holding the device near a contactless payment reader and using Touch ID or Face ID to confirm the transaction. Apple Pay can also be used for in-app purchases and online transactions.

Apple Pay uses tokenization to protect users’ financial information. This means that the user’s actual credit or debit card number is not stored on the device or transmitted during a transaction. Instead, a unique token is created for each transaction, which is encrypted and stored on the device’s Secure Element, a dedicated chip for secure transactions.

Apple Pay is available in over 60 countries and is supported by a growing number of banks, credit card companies, and merchants. In addition to its payment services, Apple Pay also offers loyalty and rewards programs, such as Apple Card, a credit card that is integrated with the Apple Pay service.

No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
