Apple Pay
Secure, simple, and even more useful.
Paying in stores or within apps has never been easier or safer. Gone are the days of searching for your wallet. Now you can use your Prime Meridian Bank debit card with just a tap.
Apple Pay® is simple to use and works with the cards you already have on the devices you use every day.
And because your card details are never shared when you use Apple Pay — in fact, they aren’t stored on your device at all — using Apple Pay on your iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad is the safer and more private way to pay.
