Frequently Asked Questions
About
Apple Pay is a digital wallet from Apple that lets you use a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad to make secure contactless purchases in stores, within selected apps, and on participating websites.
Apple Pay works with devices with iOS 10.3 or above, including iPhone 6 and later; with Apple Watch; with iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 and later; and Mac in Safari with an Apple Pay-enabled iPhone 6 or later or Apple Watch.
Here’s a list of compatible Apple Pay devices.
No, your card details are not stored on the device or in the Cloud. When a card is added to Apple Pay, a Device Account Number replaces the need for the card number.
The Device Account Number is used to make secure purchases in stores, and within apps, and websites. It won’t work if it is compromised and cannot be used outside of the device it is assigned to.
The Device Account Number can be found by opening the Wallet app, tapping the (i) symbol in the bottom right corner, and then scrolling down to find the Device Account Number.
No, it does not cost you anything extra to use Apple Pay.
The usual debit charges apply to purchases, and some retailers may apply a credit or debit card surcharge to purchases made using any payment method, including Apple Pay, contactless, or chip and PIN transactions.
To add your card to Apple Pay, you need an active data plan or Wi-Fi connection. Depending on your mobile plan and network, additional message and/or data charges may apply.
Yes, Apple Pay is secure. A unique Device Account Number is securely stored on a chip in the device, so payment can be made without sharing card information with the retailer.

Yes, a card can be added to Apple Pay on up to 9 different devices, but the card must be added to each device separately.

Using
If you’ve applied for or requested a new MyState Visa Debit card, you can start using your card before it arrives in the mail.
- Go to Cards in the MyState mobile app.
- Select your card. Make sure you can see the Add to Apple Wallet and follow the prompts.
You can use your device to make a payment using Apple Pay in stores, within apps or on participating websites wherever you see one of these symbols:
To authorise a payment, hold your iPhone 6 (or later model) above or near the contactless reader and:
- Place your finger on the Touch ID to authorise payment (if Touch ID or Face ID is enabled); or
- Enter your device passcode (if Touch ID is not enabled)
With an Apple Watch, you double-click the side button and hold the display up to the contactless reader to authorise a payment.
Please note that the Apple Watch NFC feature must be activated before Apple Pay works. When you strap your Apple Watch to your wrist, you will be prompted to enter the device passcode, which will enable Apple Pay. If the Apple Watch is removed from your wrist, so skin contact is lost, Wrist Detect detects that skin contact has been lost, and Apple Pay and the NFC feature are deactivated.
- Look for the Apple Pay icon during checkout and ensure Apple Pay is selected as the payment method.
- Check your billing, shipping and contact information to ensure they’re correct. If you want to pay with a different card, tap > next to your card.
- If you need to, enter your billing, shipping, and contact information. Apple Pay will store that information, so you won’t need to enter it again.
- When you are ready, make your purchase. Place your finger on Touch ID, use Face ID, or enter the device passcode on iPhone and iPad, or double-click the side button on the Apple Watch to authorise payment. After your payment information sends successfully, you’ll see Done and a checkmark on the screen.

- Check your billing, shipping and contact information are correct:
- The default card can be changed by clicking the button next to the default card and selecting a new credit or debit card from any nearby iPhone or Apple Watch signed into the same iCloud account.
- If you need to, enter your billing, shipping and contact information. Apple Pay will store that information on your iPhone, so you won’t need to enter it again.
