Alexandria Bank, a member of the Intesa Sanpaolo group within the international banking sector, has announced the launch of Apple Pay for its customers. The service is available for holders of debit, credit, and Miza prepaid cards. This move is part of the bank's strategy to expand its digital banking services and offer modern payment solutions that meet customer needs.
Apple Pay allows for easy and fast payments using iPhone and Apple Watch devices through contactless electronic payment machines. It also enables online purchases and transactions within applications using iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch. The service is compatible with iPhone devices starting from iPhone XS with an operating system of iOS 17.5 or later, and Apple Watch devices with watchOS 10.5 or later.
The bank provides three methods for adding cards to the Apple Wallet. Customers can add cards through the bank's mobile and internet banking application using the "Add to Apple Wallet" option. Cards can also be added automatically from within the Apple Wallet application after logging in with bank credentials. Alternatively, customers can add cards manually by scanning or entering card details and verifying them with a one-time password sent to the registered phone number.
Multiple cards can be added, and customers can choose a primary card for payments. The service prioritizes privacy and security, requiring verification through Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode for every transaction. No fees are imposed by the bank for adding cards to Apple Pay, and regular card usage fees apply.
The introduction of Apple Pay is part of Alexandria Bank's efforts to enhance its digital services. By offering this service, the bank aims to provide customers with a convenient and secure payment method.
