Enjoy all the benefits of your ikigai card with Apple Pay on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac.* Using Apple Pay is simple, and it works with the devices you use every day.

Your card information is secure because it isn't stored on your device or shared when you pay. Paying in stores, apps, and on the web has never been easier, safer, or more private.

Apple Pay continues to be one of the best ways to pay for items both inline and in person thanks to its combination of convenience and security. UK contactless payments are supported up to a value of £45 at the time of writing, although some retailers don't have a limit in place for Apple Pay — including Apple Stores.
