Q: apple iPay suddenly pops up on lock screen

I am facing this weird problem. When i bring my iPhone6 near my nexus7 pad, the apple iPay pops up (on lock screen) for payment. is there something wrong with my phone security or is there some virus attack on my pad?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

    Hi, biratbhushan.  

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I understand that you have concerns about Apple Pay.  This is normal behavior as both devices have NFC.  Here is some information regarding this feature.  

     

    Apple Pay uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology between your device and the payment terminal. NFC is an industry-standard contactless technology designed to work only across short distances. If your iPhone 6 is on and it detects an NFC field, it will present you with your default credit or debit card. To send your payment information, you must authenticate using Touch ID or your passcode. No payment information is sent without your authentication.
