Apple Pay, a new payments platform that was introduced alongside the
iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus. This means that through Apple Pay, like the App Store, Apple has found another venue to earn additional revenue on top of iPhone hardware sales.</p> <!--break--> <p>Through Apple Pay, Apple can
generate as much as 15 cents for every $100 that Apple Pay handles. And since banks and card issuers are at the center of the Apple Pay experience with Apple being the conduit and not a rival, banks are said to be
paying Apple for the privilege of being on the platform:</p>
<p>They are also paying hard cash for the privilege of being involved: 15 cents of a $100 purchase will go to the iPhone maker, according to two people familiar with the terms of the agreement, which are not public. That is an unprecedented deal, giving Apple a share of the payments' economics that rivals such as Google do not get for their services.</p>
<p>Another reason why financial institutions are jumping onboard is that Apple Pay is
secure with cryptograms, Dynamic Account Numbers, and tokens alongside security of Touch ID.</p> <div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="

This makes the timing just right for Apple to enter the NFC market with its Apple Pay standard, even if retailers aren't explicit partners that will support Apple Pay as many of those terminals should be able to handle iPhone payments via NFC.</p> <p>Via:
