Apple Expands Tap to Pay on iPhone to Eight More Latin American Countries

Apple has expanded its Tap to Pay on iPhone feature to eight additional Latin American countries. This means that independent sellers, small merchants, and large retailers can now use their iPhones as a payment terminal in these countries.

The new countries where Tap to Pay on iPhone is available include Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Peru. The feature is supported by various payment platforms such as Mercado Pago, SumUp, Geopagos, Azul, Visa Acceptance Solutions, and Symbiotic.

Tap to Pay on iPhone allows individuals and merchants with an iPhone XS or newer to accept contactless payments through supported iPhone apps. The merchant simply holds out their iPhone, and the customer holds their iPhone, Apple Watch, another digital wallet, or contactless credit card near the device for a secure payment via NFC technology.
