Eplånbok

Eplånbok is a digital wallet service that allows users to store and manage their payment information securely on their mobile devices. It is a proprietary technology developed by Apple Inc. and is integrated into iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS operating systems. Eplånbok enables users to make contactless payments in stores using their iPhone or Apple Watch, as well as to make purchases online and within apps more quickly and securely.

The service works by securely storing tokenized versions of users' credit and debit card details. When a transaction is made, the device communicates with the payment terminal using near-field communication (NFC) technology. The token is then transmitted to the payment processor, which verifies the transaction without ever exposing the user's actual card number. This enhanced security feature helps protect users from fraud.

To add a card to eplånbok, users can typically scan their physical card using their device's camera or manually enter the details. They then need to verify the card with their bank or card issuer. Once added, cards can be accessed easily by double-clicking the side button on compatible iPhones or by double-clicking the side button on Apple Watches. For online and in-app purchases, users can select eplånbok as their payment method and authenticate the transaction with Touch ID or Face ID.
