Apple Pay: Available for Mastercard holders in Greece, and in 13 European countries.

The service Apple Pay will now be available to cardholders in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.


ΗMastercard, together with its partners, Revolut, Mone, N26 and Edenred from today offers its customers the service Apple Pay, which turns mobile transactions into a guaranteed payment method convenience, security and protection of personal data.

With Apple Pay for iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac, consumers can quickly and easily make payments in stores, in applications, and online.

Η Mastercard Digital Activation Service (MDES) uses the most advanced technologies in the payment industry -EMV, tokenization and cryptography- to ensure the integrity of the cardholder's data. With the security and protection of personal data at the heart of Apple Pay, when someone uses a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual numbers on the card are not stored on either the Apple device or the servers. Instead, a unique device account number is given, which is encrypted and stored in the Secure Element of the device. Each time the transaction is approved with a unique security code.

«I'm very happy that today we have the opportunity to offer the innovative Apple Pay service to Mastercard cardholders. Europe shows the way in the evolution of contactless payments, as more than 1 in 2 transactions are made contactless. This new payment method offers speed and convenience, while at the same time showing the enthusiasm of European consumers to adopt new technologies such as Apple Pay. Equally important in transactions is security, which is provided through Mastercard tokenization technology that allows secure connection of a mobile device to a payment card.", Said the Aspa Palimeri, Country Manager of Mastercard for Greece, Cyprus and Malta.

Η Apple Pay can be easily configured while through it users still enjoy all the benefits and rewards provided by Mastercard for its credit and debit cards.
