Are Mobile Payments Safe?

Mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay are among the safest ways to pay. They use encryption and tokenization to keep your card details private, and every transaction is authorized with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Mobile payments use a unique digital code instead of your actual card number. This significantly reduces the risk of your information being stolen in a merchant data breach or by card skimmers. Plus, real-time monitoring and alerts help you spot any suspicious activity immediately, giving you peace of mind with every purchase.
