Apple Pay Goes Live in India with Axis Bank Partnership
Apple Pay has launched in India, allowing iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users to make contactless payments using eligible Axis Bank-issued Visa and Mastercard credit cards.
The initial rollout is limited to these card networks and banks, with RuPay cards not supported at launch. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI Card were also not live on the service when Apple Pay launched in India.
Users can add their eligible cards through the latest Axis Bank app or directly through Apple Wallet. Once added, they can make contactless payments using Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode to authenticate transactions.
