Q: Fraud and transactions security with Apple Pay

Hello there,

 

I have a few questions about Apple Pay.

I would like to know how it handles the transactions made with different kind of card such as (for example) :

- Classic Mastercard

- Gold Mastercard

- World Elite Mastercard.

 

Indeed, payment conditions depends on the type of card, they also depend on the bank of the card owner (for example : number of allowed transactions or maximum amount before an authorization request or a PIN code request). Those conditions are stored on the chip of the smartcard and so I would like to know how Apple Pay replicates those conditions, or if it has its own conditions regardless the card and the bank. Though in that case, if there is a fraud transaction (eg : the card has been blocked by the bank but a contactless transaction has been made), who is responsible for the fraud ? Apple or the bank ?

 

Thank you for your answer.

    Greetings jubrod,

     

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see that you have some questions about Apple Pay, and how it handles transactions made with the Mastercards you listed. I completely understand. I use Apple Pay all the time, and I know that it's important to understand the security and privacy. 

     

    Apple Pay doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you. Payment transactions are between you, the merchant (or app developer for payments made within apps), and your bank. Please see the following article to learn more about Apple Pay security and privacy:
