If you don't like giving out your personal banking info then you better stop using your credit cards and debit cards. Do you know why Target and Home Depot were hacked? Because they were storing bank information on their servers, which they obtained simply because people swiped their credit cards.
With Apple Pay merchants don't have access to any of that information. It uses a tokenization method that is part of the most secure type of transaction that we have seen to date.
Merchants also cannot collect personal information about you either, unlike CurrentC (Apple Pay and Google Wallet competitor).
Apple Pay is not endangering you, it is protecting you.
