The rollout starts with support from GoTyme Bank, Metrobank, UnionBank, and China Bank.Eligible cardholders can add supported debit and credit cards to the Wallet app on their iPhone. They can also use Apple Pay on Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro where supported. Users only need to double-click the side button, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, then hold their device near a contactless payment terminal to complete a purchase.How to Setup?Setting up Apple Pay takes only a few steps. On an iPhone, open the Wallet app and tap the "+" button to add a card. Users can scan their card or enter the details manually, then complete the verification process required by their bank. On Apple Watch, cards can be added through the Watch app on a paired iPhone. Users can also add cards through the Wallet settings on compatible iPad and Mac models. You can also use Apple Pay in your MacBooks while checking out in Shopee.Partner MerchantsApple Pay works anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

Instead, each card receives a unique Device Account Number that is stored in the Secure Element, a dedicated security chip built into Apple devices. Every purchase uses a one-time dynamic security code, which helps protect payment information. Apple does not track users' purchases or keep transaction data that can identify where they shop or what they buy.GoTyme Bank supports eligible Visa debit cards at launch. Metrobank, UnionBank, and China Bank also support eligible Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards.
