Benefits:

Apple Pay is the safer, more private way to pay. When you make a purchase, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and a unique transaction code. Your full card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers, and it can't be shared with merchants. Apple Pay is private because it doesn't keep transaction information that can be tied back to you.
 
Apple Pay can be used to tap to pay wherever Visa contactless payment is accepted - simply look for the Contactless Symbol on any point of sale terminal.

 

How do I make payments using Apple Pay? 

In-Store Purchase:
To make an in-store purchase with your iPhone 6 or later, just hold your device near the contactless reader with your finger held to Touch ID - when your payment information has been sent, a visual / audible confirmation will be given by the card reader and your iPhone will gently vibrate and beep - you will see 'Done' and a checkmark on your iPhone display. To make an in-store purchase with your Apple Watch, double-click the side button then touch the face of your device to the contactless reader. When your payment information has been sent, a visual / audible confirmation will be given by the card reader, and you'll feel a gentle tap to your wrist and hear a beep from your Apple Watch.
