1. Protection and Security

Your current account or credit card terms and conditions set out certain steps you must take to keep your account and card details secure. They also apply to the use of your card with Apple Pay. For example, you must do all you reasonably can to:

  • not leave the device you use to access Apple Pay unattended;
  • use appropriate security on your devices, such as passcodes, passwords, fingerprint recognition and other unlock methods;
  • ensure you only register your own fingerprints and not anyone else’s, if fingerprint recognition is available on your device;
  • keep your log in details, such as user ID, passwords, passcodes and any other means you have of accessing your devices or the information stored on them confidential;
  • use Apple Pay in accordance with all terms and conditions notified to you;
  • delete all your personal and financial information from your old device if you stop using it, for example, if you get a replacement device.

Contact us as soon as possible if you suspect any unauthorised use of your Apple Pay device, or if your device or security details have been compromised, lost or stolen. You should also suspend your device using the Find My Mobile app.
