Apple Pay gained integration with Banco do Brasil and Bradesco. Apple's virtual wallet now works in three banks, a team of which Ita is also part. With the function, customers can make purchases in physical stores and online without the need for a card, using only the data stored on iOS or WatchOS.
The service, which arrived in the country in April, operates with Mastercard and Visa cards, in the credit and debit functions, depending on the financial institution. Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone 6 or later, including iPhone SE. In addition, it can be used on all versions of the Apple Watch and on the 5th and 6th generation iPod Touch, iPad Mini 3 and Mini 4, iPad Pro and iPad Air 2. The devices must have iOS 11.2 or higher.

Apple Pay stores credit / debit card information, allowing the user to make online purchases instantly. Using Safari, the customer can also purchase from any Mac, iPhone or iPad without filling out forms.
Payment in physical stores is made through NFC. In this case, the user must first make sure that the machine has Apple Pay enabled. If so, just move the device closer and authenticate with Touch ID or Face ID, in the case of iPhone X.
Ita makes Apple Pay available on the Itaucard and Credicard cards, be they with multiple functions or only credit, but only for payment on credit. Bradesco offers the digital wallet on Visa credit cards and Poupcard Visa cards, both issued by Bradesco Cartes.
At Banco do Brasil, the service arrived for Ourocard Visa. The debit function accepts only in physical stores, where the customer can also pay in credit. In online purchases, I accept only payment by credit.

Adding a card to Apple Pay is simple: open the Wallet app and tap the "+" button, located in the upper right corner of the screen. Then you should scan the credit or debit card with your cell phone camera. Then, the application asks for information such as expiration date and the security code of the card. Follow the additional instructions until you complete the registration.
