All of your payment information will be encrypted in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip in your device.

When you add your card to Apple Pay, a Device Account Number is created for that card on that device. It is separate and unique to your device and is different from your physical card number. Your Device Account Number is used to make purchases with your card using Apple Pay.

Plus, a unique transaction code is used for each purchase so your card details are never shared with any merchant or saved on your device.

Apple does not know where you shopped, what you purchased or how much you spent. Apple Pay doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you.

As part of the Apple Pay experience, certain information such as details of your recent purchases will be displayed on your device. At any time, you can turn off the display of transaction history manually for each card. We will never share your physical card number or details with Apple.
