Canadian firms finally get Tap to Pay on iPhone

Apple has rolled out its Tap to Pay on iPhone to Canada, meaning that businesses there can now take payments from customers on iPhone.

Two years after Apple first launched it in the US, Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available to merchants in Canada, allowing them to accept contactless payments using their phones instead of dedicated readers. It also enables app developers to incorporate the feature into their iOS apps.

“Canadians increasingly rely on a variety of digital and contactless payment options,” Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, said in a statement, “so we’re excited to partner with payment platforms to offer merchants across Canada a private, secure, and easy-to-use capability that meets customers where they are.”

“We’ve seen how merchants and customers around the world appreciate the versatility of Tap to Pay on iPhone,” she continued, “and in a region as diverse as Canada’s, we look forward to making it easy for businesses of any size to transact from coast to coast with just an iPhone.”
