How do I set it up?

Before making a payment with your Apple device you will need to follow a few simple steps to enroll in Apple Pay and add your existing credit or debit cards.

If your OCCU credit or debit card is already on-file with Apple (iTunes®), you will be offered an option to use it as your default account for Apple Pay. You have the option to add other cards and will be prompted for a one-time entry of a few account details such as name, address, card number, expiration date, and the three digit card verification number that can be found on the back of your card. OCCU, Visa® and Apple then work behind the scenes to enable you to start making payments with Apple Pay.

Is Apple Pay more secure?

When you enroll your card(s) in Apple Pay, your payment information, such as the 16-digit account number on the front of your card, is replaced with a digital account number that is securely stored on your device and used to make purchases. When you pay with Apple Pay, only the digital account number is passed; your payment details are not shared with the merchant. In addition, if your device is ever lost or stolen, you will not need to cancel your card, only the digital account number, which can be quickly reissued.
