Image via RHB (Provided to SAYS)RHB Banking Group (RHB) is now offering Apple Pay as a payment method, enabling its customers in Malaysia to make payments using their iPhone and Apple Watch.
RHB's Visa debit and credit cardholders, including those with the RHB Multi-Currency Visa Debit Card, can now use their cards with Apple Pay, allowing transactions in up to 33 currencies without conversion fees.
Apple Pay is very convenient and secure. Here's why:
Apple Pay enables contactless payments by double-clicking the side button and authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or a device passcode, along with a one-time unique dynamic security code. It is accepted at various retail locations, including grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants.
Customers can also use Apple Pay to make purchases on iPhone, iPad, and Mac in apps or on the web, eliminating the need to create accounts or re-enter shipping and billing information. This functionality extends to Apple Watch apps for services such as food deliveries, online shopping, and transportation.
For user security and privacy, Apple Pay does not store card numbers on devices or Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is encrypted and securely stored in the device’s Secure Element, a certified chip designed to store payment information safely.
Cardholders can add their RHB Visa cards to the Wallet app on their devices and start using Apple Pay immediately, while retaining all existing rewards and benefits.
In conjunction with this launch, RHB is offering a limited-time cashback bonus
Customers can earn up to RM30 cashback when they use their RHB card with Apple Pay three times, with a minimum purchase of RM50 for each transaction. This offer is valid until 31 July and applies to both in-store and online purchases.
