You can add your Sharesies Spend card to Apple Pay to make contactless payments in-store, online, or in-app with your iPhone or Apple Watch.

To use Apple Pay, you’ll need an active Spend account with at least one virtual or physical Sharesies Debit Mastercard. You’ll also need a compatible Apple Device. For an up-to-date list of devices, see Apple Support.

There are no additional app downloads, sign ups, or fees charged by Apple.

The security of your card details with Apple Pay

Apple Pay uses the security features built into your Apple device to help keep your purchases private and secure. All transactions require Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and a double click on your Apple Watch. These features are designed so only you can make purchases with Apple Pay.

Your actual card number is never stored on your Apple device or Apple servers. And when you pay, your card number is never shared by Apple with merchants, keeping these details hidden and offering an additional level of protection against fraud.

If you suspect your card has been lost or stolen, freeze your card immediately in the Sharesies app, and let us know at help@sharesies.co.nz.

Visit the Apple Pay website to learn more about security.
