Apple brings Tap to Pay to the UK, you can now accept payments with your iPhone
After launching in the US last year, Apple’s Tap to Pay is now rolling out in the UK. The feature allows iPhones to serve as mobile point of sales terminals for merchants and only requires a supporting mobile app to set up. Merchants will be able to accept digital wallet, credit and debit card payments on their iPhones without any additional hardware.
Merchants need an iPhone XS or newer to use Tap to Pay and will also have to download and set up a supported payment app from the App Store. The payment platform will initially work with Revolut and Tyl by Natwest payment platforms and is coming to Apple Store locations across the UK in the coming weeks. Support for Adyen, Dojo, myPOS, Stripe, SumUp, Viva Wallet, Worldline and Zettle by PayPal is coming later.
We’ve seen Tap to Pay on iPhone transform the checkout experience for so many different types of businesses, and we’re thrilled to now support merchants across the U.K. by offering an easy, secure, and private way to accept contactless payments using the power, security, and convenience of iPhone, with no additional hardware needed.
Small and medium-sized businesses have long played a vital role in the U.K. economy, and alongside payment platforms, app developers, and payment networks, we’re making it easier than ever for U.K. businesses to seamlessly accept contactless payments and continue to grow their business. – Jennifer Bailey, VP of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet
Once set up by merchants, Tap to Pay will accept NFC payments from customers via a tap. Apple is boasting the same payment data protection as Apple Pay with Secure Element encryption. Specific transaction data on what is being purchased is not shared with Apple.
