Banks verify Apple Pay through a combination of methods: tokenization, biometric authentication, and bank verification processes. When you add a card, Apple sends the card info encrypted to the bank for approval. The bank then uses tokenization to generate a unique Device Account Number, securely replacing your actual card details. User authentication is ensured via Touch ID, Face ID, or passcode. This multi-level security ensures safe transactions. Always ensure your device’s security settings are up-to-date.
