With the recent launch of the new iPhone SE, there is now a new and affordable model to add to the list of devices that can use Apple Pay, which was launched in the UK last July.
The Apple Pay feature means anyone with the new iPhone SE, iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, or Apple Watch can pay via contactless in over 250,000 locations including large retailers such as Boots, Marks & Spencer, Pret A Manger, and Waitrose. Users just need to update to the latest Apple iOS and add credit or debit cards to their Apple Wallet. The card issuers and acquiring banks are involved in confirming set up has been completed.
The technology used is called NFC (Near Field Communication) which allows a phone to act like a Contactless credit / debit card. Owners of an iPhone simply hold their smartphone close to a contactless reader and pay. A quick and easy way for customers to purchase their goods.
If you would like to offer Apple Pay as a payment method for your customers then the Verifone Ocius VX820 Ped, version 356.08.02 or above supports Apple Pay as long as you have contactless enabled with Verifone.
