I actually like Apple Pay for the extra security it provides. At least in the US, there’s non-negligible chance that your card can be skimmed (happened to me before). Using Apple Pay feels much more secure, though come to think of it, I don’t have a real proof that it is.
- Dork1234 4y agoJust had a card "skimmed" and it just happened the day after a food place refused to take ApplePay because it was "down". At this point I would love to have burner cards for dealing with problems like this.
- saulpw 4y agoThey have these burner cards that come in various denominations, they're basically like gift cards that you can use at any shop. The actual card is quite flimsy but the whole system is pretty well designed. In fact there are probably several dispensers within walking distance of your home if you live in any city. You just use your regular bank card and choose the "Withdraw cash" option.
- tdy_err 4y agoThe NFC payment protocol is inherently more secure as it transmits not your card number but a one-time payment code.
- fomine3 4y agoRemoving magnetic stripe and printed number should be enough for security for now. I thought physical Apple Card don't support magnetic stripe from its design, but it seems still have, interesting.
