Apple is to introduce its “Tap to Pay” feature that enables merchants across the United States to use iPhones to accept Apple Pay, debit cards, credit cards, and other digital wallets by tapping their phones.
No additional payment terminal or other hardware is necessary, according to the company. The service will be compatible with contactless debit and credit cards that use payment networks like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. At checkout, customers will have to hold their Apple iPhone or Watch device to pay the merchant via Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
