Pinnacle Introduces Apple Pay for Consumer Credit, Debit Cardholders

Pinnacle Financial Partners consumer clients who use the firm’s consumer credit or debit cards now can make purchases through Apple Pay. Pinnacle is in the first 15 percent of banks in the nation to offer their cards on the Apple Pay platform.

Clients with consumer accounts can get started by loading their Pinnacle credit or debit cards on their iPhone 6 or Apple Watch. When they’re ready to pay, users hold the device near a contactless reader with their finger on Touch ID. Apple Pay also allows users to pay for a variety of online purchases in apps.

“Pinnacle is excited to be one of the first community banks in Tennessee to offer Apple Pay to all of our consumer clients with one of our credit or debit cards,” said Jamie Sweeney, Pinnacle’s senior product manager. “We are laser focused on making our clients’ financial needs as convenient as possible, which includes offering flexible financial payment options.”

Consumer clients can add a Pinnacle debit or credit card by opening the Passbook app on their iPhone, then swiping down and tapping the plus sign. From there, the device’s camera can enter the card information automatically, or it can be entered manually. More information is available at www.pnfp.com/applepay.
