Instead, it will be available to function from the device at all the places that support Apple Pay<\/a>. Users don’t need to wait to get the Apple Card and instead the entire process is as simple as tapping a button in the app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> BRG.In Staff<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple credit card launched<\/h2>\n
