SPRINGFIELD – Big Y Foods Inc. now accepts Apple Pay contactless payments at all its registers.

The Springfield-based chain made the announcement Tuesday. The system allows secure payments using the Phone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 or Apple Watch, according to a news release.

According to Apple's website, apple.com/apple-pay, Apple Pay allows users to pay in stores with one motion using the Near Field Communication antenna in the new Apple iPhone 6. They do not need to open an app or "wake " the dispaly. Users only need to hold their device close to the reader with a finger on the Touch ID. The phone gives off a subtle vibration and a beep to let the user know the payment has gone through.
