“If you checked your Wallet app today, you might have noticed that it features a notification badge there – this is because Apple Pay is upgrading fraud prevention features for some cards. Here’s what we know so far about this function.   As noticed by Twitter users and 9to5Mac staff, some cards are showing a notification about this ”enhanced fraud prevention” feature. Here’s what Apple says: “For cards with certain enhanced fraud prevention, when you attempt an online or in-app transaction, your device will evaluate information about your Apple ID, device, and location (if you have enabled Location Services), to develop fraud prevention assessments, which are used by Apple to identify and prevent fraud.”
