Donate with Apple Pay Comes to UK Charities
Press release published
22 UK charities today announce their supporters can donate with Apple Pay.
Apple Pay is making it easier and more secure to donate to your favourite charity from your iPhone, iPad or Mac, instantly, with just a touch. ActionAid UK, Alzheimer's Society, Barnardo’s, British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK, Comic Relief, Concern Worldwide (UK), DEC, Marie Curie, Oxfam, (RED), The Royal British Legion, RNIB, RNLI, RSPB, RSPCA, Scope, Sightsavers, Unicef UK, VSO, WaterAid, and WWF-UK will offer Apple Pay starting today so their supporters can make easy, secure and private payments, right at the moment they feel inspired to donate.
Steve Armstrong, Head of Digital at Marie Curie said: “Marie Curie is committed to making it as easy as possible for people to support us in many different ways. Apple Pay offers a frictionless and secure means for our supporters to donate money and help us care for terminally ill people and their families."
Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay. When you use a credit or debit card with Apple Pay, the actual card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element on your device. Each transaction is authorised with a one-time unique dynamic security code.
Giving and adding Gift Aid to a donation has never been so simple — by eliminating the need to enter billing and contact info, create an account or fill out long forms to check out, Apple Pay gives charity supporters a way to donate instantly and at the moment they feel inspired to do so.
When paying for goods and services on the go in apps or Safari, Apple Pay works with iPhone 6 and later, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 and later. You can also use Apple Pay in Safari on any Mac introduced in or after 2012 running macOS Sierra and confirm the payment with iPhone 6 or later or Apple Watch, or with Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro.
