To begin, make sure the merchant you would like to purchase from accepts Apple Pay. If they can accept your Apple Pay payment, they will have one or both of the following icons on their terminal:
If you would like to pay with an iPhone with Touch ID, just place your finger on Touch ID and hold the top of your iPhone near the contactless reader until you see Done and a checkmark on the display.
If you would like to pay with Apple Watch, double-click the side button and hold the display of your Apple Watch near the contactless reader. Wait until you feel a gentle tap. A subtle vibration and beep will let you know your purchase was successful.
If you are paying online or in App, simply tap the Apple Pay button and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the transaction.
Apple Pay is a simple way to make secure, fast digital payments from the wallet application on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac without a physical card or cash.

The transaction will be completed automatically.

Samsung Pay uses two technologies that allow the solution to work almost anywhere:
- Near-field communication (NFC) technology allows your phone to connect with contactless terminals for tap-to-pay transactions
- Magnetic secure transmission (MST) can be used with older terminals at which you would typically have to swipe a card. Your phone equipped with Samsung Pay emits a magnetic signal to simulate the magnetic strip found on the back of a credit or debit card when you hold the phone against one of these readers.
Your actual Providence Federal Credit Union card number is never used in Samsung Pay transactions making this solution more secure than a regular plastic card transaction.
