Frequently Asked Questions

What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple Inc. which allows you to use a compatible Apple device (iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad) to make secure in-store, in-app and e-Commerce purchases anywhere Apple Pay is accepted using your AlRayan Bank Debit and Credit cards.

How does Apple Pay work?

Apple Pay uses “Near Field Communication - NFC” technology to conduct contactless payments with your Apple device at POS (Point of Sale) terminals. The technology enables devices in close proximity to communicate and transmit tokenized payment card information from your phone to a contactless payment terminal without sending your actual card information and without any direct physical contact.

When using Apple Pay for In-App / e- Commerce purchases, Apple Pay uses “Tokenization” technology to hide all details of your card from being shared with the merchant online, only an encrypted token will be used to authorize your transaction online.
