The transaction will be authorized after an amount has been entered and a payment card has been selected. The authorization will take place through Touch ID or a Face ID. The funds will be obtainable in the recipient’s Apple Pay Cash Card. It will be used through Apple pay or will be transmitted to a bank account.
