Tap to Pay on iPhone Now Available in New Zealand
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Apple this week expanded Tap to Pay on iPhone to New Zealand, which means independent sellers, small businesses, and other merchants in the country can use an iPhone as a contactless payment terminal.
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, an iPhone is able to accept payment using Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets thanks to NFC technology. Transactions are encrypted and Apple does not have information about what is purchased or the person that made the purchase.
On the customer end, using Tap to Pay on iPhone works like any standard Apple Pay transaction. Sellers open up an app on an iPhone XS or later, register a sale, and present an iPhone to the buyer, who can then use a contactless payment method to complete the transaction.
Adyen, ANZ Bank, Stripe, Windcave, and Worldline offer Tap to Pay on iPhone in New Zealand.
Tap to Pay on iPhone launched in February 2022 in the United States, and since then, Apple has been working to expand it to additional countries. The feature is available in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
