In short, Apple Pay is a service that puts Suica, credit cards, prepaid cards etc in iPhone or Apple Watch.


It should be noted that payment can be made with iPhone or Apple Watch instead of credit card or Suica at transportation facilities or real shops only for 3 newly released models such as iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Apple Watch Series 2 . IPhone 6, 6s, etc. are Apple Pay compatible terminals but can not be used in transportation and stores, so Apple Pay can be used only within the application and on the web.


For example, when using Suica with Apple Pay, put iPhone 7 on Suica card or Suica commuter ticket you want to register. Then Suica's balance and commuter pass information are transferred to the terminal, and this Suica will be available from the iPhone at any time. If you want to use Suica with Apple Watch Series 2, you can add Suica information from the built-in Watch application on iPhone 7. Also, if you do not have a Suica card, you can make a Suica that you can use with Apple Pay from the Suica application of JR East. It is also possible to charge the Suica easily with the amount from the iPhone and update the commuter pass. However, it is necessary to register a credit card separately on Apple Pay.

If you use Apple Pay, you can also go through the ticket examination machine using Suica registered by transportation only with iPhone or Apple Watch. In official movies, etc., it is tapped on the ticket by Apple Pay so that the intention is easy to convey, but there is no need to open a dedicated application etc. when actually using it, even when the device sleeps OK.


For Suica's Apple Pay support, JR East has released the following releases.

Suica is compatible with Apple Pay ~ You can use "Suica" easily, securely and safely with iPhone 7, Apple Watch Series 2 ~ - 20160906.pdf


Regarding safety, the unsigned Suica will guarantee the charge balance.

Even Suica, an unsigned ceremony in Apple Pay, guarantees the charge balance as well as My Suica and Suica commuter tickets, and we offer further assurance to customers.

Of course, not only Suica but also credit cards and prepaid cards can be registered with Apple Pay. Since Apple Pay is linked with major credit card issuing companies, merit and security such as points can be used just like ordinary credit card.

Also, even if you use a credit card with Apple Pay, the credit card number will not be stored on Apple's server. Furthermore, a unique account number has been issued to the terminal, and information such as credit card number is securely stored in the terminal in an encrypted state. In addition, even when you use Apple Pay, the number of the credit card you use will not be notified to the merchant.

Corresponding credit card brands are as follows. In addition, Visa is compatible with Apple Pay's NFC in the global model, but in the case of the Japanese model, from a special specification called FeliCa installationNot supported at the present timeAnd that. However, it seems that we are considering responding to Apple Pay even in Japan.


Each carrier company announces Apple Pay correspondence one after another.
