Apple Pay

The first card you add to Apple Pay automatically becomes your default payment card. To change your default card, go to "Settings" on your supported iPhone and select "Wallet & Apple Pay." From there, you will be able to choose your default card.

Apple Pay is a payments feature that allows you to add your credit and/or debit cards to a supported Apple^® device through the Wallet app and make purchases at participating merchants.

Contactless payments are transactions that use Near Field Communication (NFC). To complete a transaction, these payments do not require a physical connection between your device and the participating merchant’s checkout terminal.
