Apple Pay

Whilst at this moment in time Apple Pay is not available to use with Irish based debit or credit cards, the visibility of the Apple Pay logo on the High Street is becoming more and more prevalent. Look at the security behind the Apple Pay system – https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027

NFC

App development utilising NFC technology is strictly locked down by Apple so any developers looking to develop using the technology have to be part of the Apple core development team. As such iOS card-skimming applications are not available in the App Store.
