Apple has expanded its Tap to Pay feature on iPhone to eight more Latin American countries, enabling businesses to accept contactless payments using compatible iPhones and supported apps. This move brings Apple's payment acceptance capability to Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Peru.
Tap to Pay on iPhone requires a compatible device running iOS 13 or later and works with contactless debit or credit cards, iPhone, Apple Watch, or other supported digital wallets. By holding these near a merchant's iPhone, customers can complete transactions over NFC.
Apple is launching Tap to Pay via various payment platforms in these eight countries, though availability may differ. The initial rollout includes several payment platforms, as reported by Apple's Latin American site.
