Apple Pay is a service that allows users to send money directly within the Wallet app on their iOS device. The wallet can be found on iPhones and iPads running iOS 8 or later, as well as Apple Watches running watchOS 2 or later.
Once set up, users can quickly transfer funds without having to enter additional information like account details, recipient email, or an amount.
The removed friction of sending money makes it suitable for quick transactions like splitting a bill at a restaurant or reimbursing your roommate on the go.
