How does Apple Pay work?
Simply add your Rivermark Visa or Debit Card to your Wallet app. Once set up, the number on the front of your Rivermark card will be replaced with a digital account number that will be securely stored on your Apple devices. Simply hold the device in front of a contactless reader at a participating retailer to make your payment.
How is this more secure?
Only the digital account number is passed on to the retailer. Your payment details including account name and number are never shared with the retailer or seen by the cashier. This reduces the threat of personal data being compromised. If your device is ever lost or stolen, you will not need to cancel the cards attached to your Apple Pay account. You simply reset your digital account number, which can be done quickly and easily.
What merchants accept Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is currently accepted at hundreds of thousands of stores (and growing!) and in select iPhone apps. Major merchants include McDonalds, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Staples, Subway and more. Apple has a full list of stores that accept Apple Pay.
Is Apple Pay free to use?
Yes, but messaging and data rates may apply depending on your plan. Check with your carrier for details. You do not need to be connected to the internet to use Apple Pay in-store.
