Enhancing its payment offering, An Post has announced the integration Apple Pay to its An Post Money Current Account.
As part of the deal, An Post Money Current Account customers will benefit from their An Post Money Current Account Mastercard debit card with Apple Pay on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac.
John Rice, Financial Services Director for An Post, said “The addition of Apple Pay is another good reason why customers are turning to the An Post Money Current Account debit card. The card has been key to An Post’s move into a wider range of financial services and another example of our commitment to being human about money.”
At a time when contactless payments continue to experience significant growth, Apple Pay seeks to provide a safer, more secure and private way to pay that helps customers avoid handing their payment card to someone else, touching physical buttons or exchanging cash.
Card information is kept secure because it is not stored on your device or shared when you pay. Every Apple Pay purchase is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code. Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and many more places.
Sonya Geelon, Country Manager, Mastercard Ireland, added: “Using Apple Pay for your everyday purchases couldn’t be easier so we’re delighted this new capability is on offer for An Post Mastercard cardholders. This innovation brings further speed and convenience when making payments, all underpinned by the safety and security you would expect from Mastercard.”
