Apple Pay Launches In India, Partners With Axis Bank

Apple Pay, a mobile payment service, has made its debut in India, partnering with Axis Bank as its exclusive banking collaborator. This launch allows iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users to make payments seamlessly within apps, online, and at contactless-enabled stores, with Mac support on the horizon. The service leverages the merchant networks through key payment infrastructure players such as Juspay and Cashfree, alongside other payment service providers.

Juspay noted that merchants operating on its platform can effortlessly integrate Apple Pay into their existing online payment systems without the need for additional coding. This move sees the payment option being gradually introduced across a diverse array of sectors, including travel, entertainment, fashion, quick commerce, and healthcare.

Furthermore, Cashfree has also extended Apple Pay support to its Indian business clientele, enabling them to incorporate the payment method into their checkout processes.
