G+_Kevin Spitzer (JaguarXT Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looks easy to use but how secure is it? Is it sending the credit card info or a one time code like Apple Pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Brandon Mitchell Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Guessing it's sending the mag stripe itself over the air. May be more vulnerable to being intercepted, but less vulnerable to theft since the phone would likely be locked when stolen. But most importantly, it encourages the migration to NFC which should be secure, especially compared to mag stripe. And as with all US credit cards, the liability for any compromised card is with the company, not the consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
