Tap to Pay on iPhone is a service that turns the iPhone into a contactless payment terminal. This means you can accept any payment by simply tapping your debit card, credit card, or Apple Pay device to an iPhone.
This service is now available in the UAE, as announced by Apple, allowing merchants to integrate it into their businesses for seamless payments from customers. All they need is an app that supports it.
Starting today, the following services support Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone in the UAE: Adyen, Magnati, and Network International.
All you need is an iPhone XS and an app that supports Tap to Pay for payment acceptance (ones mentioned above) and you’re ready to start accepting payments.
This even works with Apple Watch. Just bring it close to the iPhone that is working as a payment terminal and you’re done paying.
Privacy and security are at the core of Tap to Pay on iPhone. Apple does not have any access to your data, and everything is processed in the Secure Element.
Tap to Pay on iPhone is definitely going to be a hit with small businesses that want to set up a contactless payment terminal instantly.
