Apple’s phone can now receive nearby payments without separate payment terminal

Apple The phone can be used as a payment terminal in the future. The payment service company Nets and Apple have developed an application that allows the phone to receive local payment.

Local payment means that the payment instrument information is transferred to the receiving device “wirelessly” via the NFC or nearby payment chip. You can use a payment card, a smartphone, a smart watch or any device with a near -payment feature.

In the local payment, the payment instrument is taken a few inches from the receiving device. Payment is ensured in the same way as in the local fees, so at times the device can ask, for example, a PIN.

Once the payment has been processed, Apple does not store card numbers or PIN information on iPhone or Apple servers.

Over here There is a separate terminal to receive the payment, but now the phone can act as a terminal. The entrepreneur can accept charges by downloading the MyPayments application.

The function has already been used in Italy, Germany, Sweden and Austria. So now it can also be used in Finland.
