The company will continue to offer PC points on every dollar spent when using the digital PC Financial World Elite MasterCard and PC Financial MasterCard.
In order to provide maximum security, Apple Pay does not store card numbers on the device, nor on Apple servers.
Instead, a unique device account number is generated, encrypted and securely stored in the secure element on a user's device. All transactions are authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
