Cardinal Bank announced today its consumer and business clients will now have access to make purchases with Apple Pay using their Cardinal Bank debit and credit cards. This new service transforms mobile payments with an easy, secure and private way to pay for purchases.

Apple Pay is a mobile wallet that allows customers to make purchases at participating stores with their iPhone® 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple WatchTM. Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad AirTM 2, and iPad MiniTM 3. Cardinal Bank is one of the first community banks in the DC Metro area to offer this innovative service to its clients.

“We are very pleased to offer this new service to our clients. Apple Pay expands our mobile service offering of banking on-the-go,” said Alice P. Frazier, Chief Operating Officer. “We continually strive to provide state-of-the-art products and services to meet our clients’ needs. Apple Pay is one example of how Cardinal Bank is leading the way with convenience banking.”

Apple’s integrated hardware, software and services work together to provide the security of keeping payment information protected. The actual card numbers are not stored on the device nor on Apple servers and are not shared with merchants or transmitted with payments. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored. Apple Pay is easy to set up and customers will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits that come with using Cardinal Bank debit or credit cards.

Cardinal customers can bank 24 hours a day, seven days a week with Online and Mobile Banking, as well as access surcharge-free ATM networks throughout the United States.
