Apple Pay available to Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne customers starting today
Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne will offer customers Apple Pay, which is transforming mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay that’s fast and convenient from today when it launches in France.
Customers will be able to make purchases everywhere using their Visa bank cards wherever contactless payments are accepted.
Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
"As a pioneer in mobile payments and ever-attentive to innovation, it was natural for Groupe BPCE to support Apple Pay. We are proud to be the first banking group in France to offer our customers Apple Pay. And we are sure it will attract new customers to the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne networks", explains François Pérol, Chairman of the Groupe BPCE Management Board.
Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by credit and debit cards. In participating stores, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE and Apple Watch.
Online shopping in apps accepting Apple Pay is as simple as the touch of a finger with Touch ID, so there’s no need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. When paying for goods and services within apps, Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro.
