Apple Pay has expanded to the Philippines, enabling iPhone and Apple Watch users to conveniently make contactless payments using supported debit and credit cards. To add a card, users must open the Wallet app and tap the '+' button. Supported banks in the Philippines include UnionBank, GoTyme, Metrobank, and Chinabank. Cards are verified through SMS or phone call.
Once an eligible card is added, it can be utilized at retailers that support Apple Pay. Reddit users have already added their cards to Apple Wallet and made purchases at popular stores like Starbucks and 7-Eleven. Apple Pay is available in numerous countries worldwide, with a comprehensive list of supported banks, though the Philippines was not initially listed. Apple is expected to soon provide a full list of participating banks in the country.
