Wegmans touts Apple Pay service for iPhone customers
Come Monday, Wegmans Food Market customers will be able to pay for groceries a new way.
The supermarket giant announced Thursday that customers will be able to use a new service - Apple Pay - which will work with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch, at all checkout locations in Wegmans stores, including the pharmacy.
Wegmans will be one of the first supermarkets in the country where customers can check out using Apple Pay.
'We are very proud to be able to offer this to our customers as soon as it goes live on October 20,' says Jo Natale, Wegmans Food Markets Inc., director of media relations. 'Apple Pay is easy to use and secure, two things that we know are very important to our customers.'
The company is touting Apple Pay as 'an easy, secure and private way to pay.'
Here's how it works:
'When you add a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device nor on Apple servers,' Natale explained.
'Instead, a unique device account number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the secure element on your device. Each transaction is authorized with a one-time unique dynamic security code, instead of using the security code from the back of your card.'
