The Apple Pay service is available for individuals and legal entities, clients of UniCredit Bulbank with Visa debit and credit cards. This type of payment allows for easy, secure and secure payments with a mobile phone in a fast and convenient way.

Customers simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code. Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and many more places.

Apple Pay is a feature that offers an easy way to make payments with Apple devices. To make a payment, a bank card must be added to Apple's digital wallet.

Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When you use a credit or debit card with 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. Each transaction is authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code.

UniCredit Bulbank customers who have mobile banking can quickly and easily add their card to Apple Pay by clicking the "Add to Apple Pay Wallet" button available under their bank card in Bulbank Mobile.

Customers can also add their card manually to Apple Pay. On iPhone, simply open the Wallet app, tap +, and follow the steps to add UniCredit Bulbank‘s credit or debit cards. Once a customer adds a card to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, they can start using Apple Pay on that device right away. Customers will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by UniCredit Bulbank’s cards.

Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or on the web in Safari without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. Apple Pay makes it easier to pay for food and grocery deliveries, online shopping, transportation, and parking, among other things. Apple Pay can also be used to make payments in apps on Apple Watch.
