Apple Pay launches at Pret A Manger
To make payment more convenient, Pret will also be accepting all Apple Pay transactions over £20, with no spend limit.
Clive Schlee, CEO of Pret A Manger, said, “We’re looking forward to customers trying out Apple Pay for the first time in one of our shops.”
He added, “We were one of the first UK retailers to offer contactless payment and today half of all card payments at Pret are contactless. We’re delighted to make paying even more convenient for many with the introduction of Apple Pay, including payments over £20 – an advantage if you’re doing the office lunch run!”
To ensure security, when a customer adds a credit or debit card to Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device and each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
In stores, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch.
