Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Redwood Credit Union (RCU) members can now use Apple Pay with their RCU credit and debit cards, allowing payments at participat- ing businesses with a compat- ible Apple device. RCU is the first North Bay-based financial institution to offer the high-tech payment option. “We are always seeking ways to add convenience and choice for our members,” said Ron Felder, Executive Vice President & Chief Lending Of- ficer at Redwood Credit Union. “Apple Pay allows members
to continue using the payment cards they love, but do so in a whole new way.” A member using Apple Pay can
use their iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus or other compatible device to pay by holding the device near a cor- responding receiver at checkout. The service can also be used for certain online purchases. Apple Pay adds a unique layer of secu- rity by using a digital version of the member’s card, and no actual card information is transmitted during the transaction. “We’re confident in this new technol-
ogy, and it fits well with the se- curity we provide across all our services,” Mr. Felder said. “With mobile banking, mobile check deposit, mobile bill pay and now Apple Pay, we’re putting more powerful tools into the hands of our members – wherever they are.”
In response to the rapid emer- gence of digital payment tech- nologies
such as Apple Pay,
RCU recently created a new Payments
division specifically
to develop and manage all forms of payment processes, from tra-
neer and market the new cars. Pooled with driving two new vehicles at home each week, it gives them an intimate knowl- edge of more than 150 new vehicles annu- ally.
