The eight new countries joining the list include Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Peru. Apple has also confirmed that Tap to Pay on iPhone supports contactless debit and credit cards from major payment networks, including American Express, Mastercard, and Visa.
Initially launched in the United States in February 2022 with Stripe as the first payment platform, Tap to Pay on iPhone has since expanded to 59 countries and regions. The company now lists over 100 payment service providers worldwide that support the feature.
