PayPal and Venmo credit or debit card holders can make payments quickly and securely in-store, online or on their favourite apps using Apple Pay — and can still earn the same cashback and rewards that they love on their eligible purchases.Â

PayPal also keeps transactions protected and secure, whether a customer pays using a smartphone or with their physical card.
