Our customers are the most digitally engaged of any bank in this country, with 74% of their interactions with us through our mobile app \u2013 that\u2019s almost 200,000 interactions through mobile each day.<\/p>\n<p>“Our customers embrace mobile technology to make many aspects of their lives quick, easy and convenient, and this will undoubtedly extend to how they pay.\u00a0 Approximately 70 per cent of our Orange Everyday customers who use our app connect with us through an iOS device and they\u2019ve been asking us for Apple Pay.\u00a0 We\u2019re delighted to be able to deliver.\u201d<br \/>\nSecurity 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\u00a0servers. 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\u00a0one-time unique dynamic security code.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Arnott added: \u201cMany of our customers\u2019 use our mobile app as their primary way of managing their money, so our focus is on making sure they continue to have a first-rate mobile experience:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey log-in to our iOS mobile app using Touch ID where they pay bills or make transfers, and they check their transaction, savings, home loan and super balances through our iOS widget. By bringing Apple Pay to our customers they can now also make day-to-day purchases; their iPhone is not only their bank, it\u2019s also their wallet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis latest addition to our customers\u2019 mobile experience reinforces just how simple it is to manage your money with ING DIRECT.\u201d<br \/>\nApple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and bene\ufb01ts offered by credit and debit cards.\u00a0In stores,\u00a0Apple Pay works with iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later, and Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Online shopping in apps and on websites accepting Apple Pay is as simple as the touch of a finger with Touch ID, so there\u2019s no need to manually fill out lengthy account forms or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information. When paying for goods and services on the go in apps or Safari, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6 and later, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 and later. You can also use Apple Pay in\u00a0Safari on any Mac introduced in or after 2012 running macOS Sierra and confirm the payment with iPhone 6 or later or Apple Watch,\u00a0or with Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Apple Pay, visit:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-pay\/\">http:\/\/www.apple.com\/apple-pay\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>-ENDS-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>David Breen<\/p>\n<p>Head of Corporate Affairs, ING DIRECT<\/p>\n<p>T: +61 2 9028 4347<\/p>\n<p>M:\u00a0 +61 412 933 060<\/p>\n<p>E: <a href=\"mailto:david.breen@ingdirect.com.au\">david.breen@ingdirect.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kristen Costandi<\/p>\n<p>PR Manager, ING DIRECT<\/p>\n<p>T: +61 2 9018 5160<\/p>\n<p>M: +61 413 317 225<\/p>\n<p>E: <a href=\"mailto:kristen.costandi@ingdirect.com.au\">kristen.costandi@ingdirect.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About ING DIRECT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ING DIRECT changed the way Australians bank 18 years ago by launching the country\u2019s first high interest, fee free online savings account.
