Depending on the device you're using you'll authorize your payment in different ways either for in-store or online purchases:

  • If you’re using an Apple Watch, you'll authorize the payment by double-clicking on the side button. 
  • If you’re using your Mac, you'll pay by using Touch ID via the Touch Bar in the top-right corner of your keyboard;
  • For iPad you'll use the Touch ID to pay. .

Is my card information protected?

Apple Pay is safer than using a physical card. When using a digital wallet, the merchant will not have access to our card number or your identity.

Apple doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you, as well as your actual card numbers aren’t stored on your device or on Apple servers.

Why did my card disappear from my Apple Wallet?

If your N26 card is unexpectedly removed from Apple Wallet, check the following:

  • You are still logged in in your iCloud
  • Your passcode or Touch/Face ID are turned on
  • A factory reset has been made

But, no worries you can alway add your card again.
