Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay, told TechCrunch that the company plans to extend its digital payment service worldwide Currently, it’s only available in six countries.
“We’re working rapidly in Asia and also in Europe, our goal is to have Apple Pay in every significant market Apple is in,” she said.
Apple Pay rolled out in full force in Singapore this week with Visa, MasterCard and five major banks on board. This made Singapore the sixth country to get Apple Pay, after the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia and China.
