Is Wallet the same as Apple Pay?

02 Feb 2023

Apple's iOS operating system comes with the app known as Apple Wallet, formerly known as Passbook.

Users can store boarding passes, coupons, store cards, loyalty cards, credit cards, and debit cards with the option to use Apple Pay's user interface to complete transactions.

On the other hand, Apple Pay is a mobile payment service that enables users to make purchases using their Apple watch, iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Apple Pay doesn't require particular contactless payment terminals for Magstripe (MSD) transactions, just like Samsung Pay.

It is compatible with current contactless terminals.

You can use Apple Pay to make secure purchases in shops, on public transportation, in apps, and on websites that accept Apple Pay by storing your cards in the Wallet app. Use Apple Cash in Messages to send and receive money from loved ones as well as to make purchases from participating merchants.
