Apple has introduced Tap to Pay on iPhone in Australia, which means local businesses of any size can accept in-person contactless payments on iPhone.
In Australia, contactless payments are ubiquitous. Now, with the introduction of Tap to Pay on iPhone, Australian businesses can accept contactless payments from wherever they do business, says Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.
Merchants can enable Tap to Pay on iPhone through a supporting iOS app on an iPhone Xs or later device running iOS 16.4 or later. Once enabled, merchants will simply prompt customers to hold their iPhone or Apple Watch to pay with Apple Pay, their contactless credit or debit card, or other digital wallet near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Tap to Pay on iPhone works with contactless credit and debit cards from leading payment networks, including eftpos, Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.2 Tap to Pay on iPhone will also roll out to Apple Store locations in Australia later this year.
