If you use Apple Pay then that's exactly what you get. A unique credit card number is generated per transaction and passed to the merchant.

Not only is it more secure but it also helps protect your privacy against retailers that use your card number to track your purchases across their brands.



Apple Pay uses the same token for many transactions. It's not unique per tap.


Totally agree. Not all places take Apple Pay and not all places require chip inserts.
