Or sign in at iCloud.com or use you can use Find My iPhone to quickly put your device in Lost Mode to suspend Apple Pay, or you can wipe your device clean completely. You can also stop the ability to make payments from credit and debit cards on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch with iCloud.

Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by Orange Cash. Orange Cash is a great shopping companion, and is available at 400,000 points of sale across France. Customers receive information on exclusive offers from Orange Cash partners.

After downloading the Orange Cash application on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE or Apple Watch, it only takes a few clicks to create an account and activate the mobile payment function with Apple Pay directly from the Orange cash app, regardless of which bank the customer is with.

In an increasingly digital and mobile environment, Orange Cash offers independent stores and major chains alike the opportunity to boost their commercial relationships.
