Apple Pay
Introduction
That's right, you can use your Visions debit and credit cards with Apple Pay™! It allows you to:
- Pay with your phone instead of reaching for your wallet.
- Protect your card information with multiple layers of security.
- Just unlock to pay, no need to open an app.
A new way to pay
When you combine Apple Pay™ with your Visions Federal Credit Union cards, you have access to a new level of security and convenience. Simply use Touch/Face ID authentication or a passcode to authorize a purchase. There is no need to share your card number.
How it works
Instead of using your actual debit or credit card numbers, Apple Pay™ creates a unique Device Account Number, encrypting and securely storing it in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip in your device. When you make a purchase, the Device Account Number and a transaction-specific dynamic security code are used to process the payment. Your actual debit or credit card numbers are never shared with merchants or transmitted with payment.
How to set up Apple Pay™

Add a card to your iPhone or iPad:
- On your iPhone, tap Plus icon next to Apple Pay™ in the upper-right corner. On your iPad, tap Add Debit or Credit Card.
- If you have a supported debit or credit card on file with iTunes, enter the card's security code. Otherwise, use the camera to capture the information on your debit or credit card. Then fill in any additional information needed, including the card security code.
- Tap Next. Your information will be verified and it will be determined if you can add your card to Apple Pay™. If we need more information, we will ask you to call us and provide additional verification. You can verify your card any time after you add it to the Wallet. Just return to the Wallet and follow the steps.
- After your card is verified, tap Next. Then you can start using Apple Pay™.
