About

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple that lets users make secure contactless and online payments with iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro devices.

It supports tap-to-pay in stores using NFC, payments in apps and on the web, secure tokenization that hides actual card numbers from merchants, biometric authentication such as Face ID or Touch ID, and storage of credit, debit, and prepaid cards in Wallet.

Visa is a global payment network processor that enables banks, merchants, and cardholders to conduct debit, credit, and prepaid transactions across more than 200 countries and territories.

It operates a centralized and modular payments network called VisaNet, which supports card-not-present payments via RESTful APIs, token-based mobile and contactless payments, and provides merchants with data analytics and fraud-monitoring tools.
