# network

A string, suitable for display, that describes the payment network for the card.

## Declaration

```swift
var network: PKPaymentNetwork? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion To protect the user’s privacy, the network property is nil until after the user authenticates the purchase. You can safely access this property as soon as the system calls your delegate’s paymentAuthorizationController(_:didAuthorizePayment:completion:) method.
