How do I make a payment with Apple Pay? 

You can pay with Apple Pay anywhere contactless payments are accepted, with your iPhone or Apple Watch. You will need to authenticate with either Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Make sure you do not share your device passcode with anyone else or let anyone register their face or fingerprint on your device, as that person will be able to make Apple Pay payments and you will be responsible for their use of your card.

You can also use Apple Pay to make in-app payments and pay online in Safari with your eligible Westpac Mastercard on the Mastercard payment network.
