A safer, contactless way to pay
We’re bringing you a safer way to pay, giving you the freedom to securely spend without a €50 limit, touch-free with Apple Pay. You can now use your Apple device to pay with your Credit Union Debit Card wherever you see the Apple Pay or contactless logo in store, online or in-app. It’s a safer, contactless way to pay.
Apple Pay – All you need to know
Apple Pay is a secure and easy-to-use mobile payment service that can be used to pay in stores wherever Contactless payments are accepted; just look for the Contactless or Apple Pay symbol.
It enables the use of eligible cards through compatible Apple devices by leveraging existing Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to make mobile payments.
You can also use it to make in-app and E-commerce purchases wherever the Apple Pay logo is displayed.
Mobile data or Wi-Fi connection is not required for making transactions using Apple Pay. You will need a mobile data or Wi-Fi to set up a card on the Wallet and to receive transaction notifications.
All compatible devices are automatically NFC enabled.

The card image may not be an exact match. Keep in mind this doesn’t affect how your cards work with Apple Pay.
You will receive an immediate notification after each transaction made using Apple Pay. When you open the card in the Wallet, you will only see the latest transaction made. When you navigate to the transaction tab (tap on your card in the Wallet to display) you will see your last ten transactions. Transaction history is not available on the Apple Watch.
With your Credit Union Current Account, there are no account transaction fees when you use Apple Pay to make purchases.
Yes. When you shop at a merchant, Apple Pay doesn’t send your actual debit card number with your payment. Instead, a virtual account number is used to represent your account information – so your card details stay safe. You also need to authorise every transaction by Touch ID, Face ID or your passcode.
Unlike contactless, you can make payments in excess of €50 once you have an available balance. However, not every merchant can support transactions of this value. You will not be asked to input your pin for Apple Pay payments.
