Apple rolls out Tap to Pay on iPhone in five European countries

Apple has launched its Tap to Pay feature on iPhone in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, and Norway, allowing merchants in these countries to accept contactless payments directly on their iPhones.

The feature enables businesses to use an iPhone Xs or newer device running the latest iOS to receive payments from contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets without extra hardware.

Supported payment platforms for the rollout include SumUp and Revolut in Estonia and Lithuania, SumUp in Latvia, Adyen and BNP Paribas in Monaco, and Adyen, Nexi, PayPal, Stripe, SumUp, Surfboard Payments, and Viva.com in Norway.

Tap to Pay on iPhone works with major card networks, including American Express, Mastercard, and Visa, and supports BankAxept in Norway specifically when using Surfboard Payments.

With this expansion, Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available in 43 countries and regions.
