Discover card has joined the league of Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit card in the Apple Pay game. The company will be adding support for Apple's wireless payment system for the iPhone and Apple Watch this fall.

"Discover credit cardmembers will still receive all of their current benefits, including Cashback Bonus and the new Freeze It security tool that allows them to stop any new purchases, cash advances and balance transfers when they temporarily misplace their cards," the company said in a statement.

Apple Pay is NFC-based transaction system in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as well as Apple Watch. The new feature lets you store credit card information on the device and lets users make secure transactions at payment kiosk without pulling the physical card from wallet.

Apple Pay was initially launched with Visa, MasterCard and American Express and Discover was conspicuously missing from the list. However now, the company says the support is on the way.
