Speed and security benefits are extended to online.
The mobile payments service Apple Pay has been slowly expanding in availability since it was first announced in September 2014. So far, most attention has been on its use at contactless payment terminals in bricks and mortar stores; however, the service is also a payment option within a range of apps.

APPLE PAY: A SLEEPING GIANT IN E-COMMERCE?
