Apple Pay is donating to the World Wildlife Fund for every purchase that you make at their retail stores.
Apple Pay is making a meaningful impact, and they want to show it. Apple donates $0.05 to the World Wildlife Fund for every Apple Pay transaction in participating stores, up to $1.5M each quarter. Starting April 21st, Apple is giving the world a peek behind the curtain to see how much positive impact their customers are making by using Apple Pay—and how much more they can donate with your help.
Apple Pay is a secure and easy way to pay using iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. Simply add your card on any device and use it just about anywhere you can tap your card. And now it’s even easier to make donations to the World Wildlife Fund right from Apple Pay. So when you’re shopping on April 22, help us raise money for the environment by shopping on Apple Pay.
What is the Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is a mobile payment service by Apple Inc that lets users make payments at participating stores using their iPhone 6, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, and later, iPod touch 6th generation devices or Apple Watch. Typically you do this by holding your device in close proximity to a contactless reader (a form of NFC), however for iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 and iPod touch 6th generation devices this is done by holding the device within close proximity (1 – 2 inches) of the reader. In addition, several functions within Apple Pay can only be accessed from an iPhone 6 or later using special user interface elements on the device. The initial launch of Apple Pay did not support Barclaycard credit cards in the UK, as they were issued on an EMV platform that was not supported by Apple Pay; but this has now been resolved with Barclaycard announcing a two-stage rollout that will see both contactless and contact EMV cards supported across the UK merchant acceptance base, initially starting with London Transport services such as TfL and then rolling out on a wider basis throughout 2015.
Apple Pay is available on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. Make purchases in stores, within apps, and on the web! When you use Apple Pay, your actual card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants or transmitted with payment. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is used to represent your account information. Your actual card number is still kept secure and encrypted on your device. Apple doesn’t store your purchase history, so we can’t view or track it—and you can always stop the service at any time.
