Adyen has launched Tap to Pay on iPhone in seven new European markets, including Belgium and Denmark, allowing businesses to accept contactless payments without additional hardware. This feature enhances the in-store shopping experience by enabling secure and efficient transactions through NFC technology on compatible iPhones.

Alipay's "Alipay Tap" introduces a streamlined NFC payment solution in China, allowing users to complete transactions by simply tapping their smartphones on a merchant's NFC tag. This innovative approach eliminates the traditional QR code scanning process, making offline payments faster and more user-friendly while integrating various service interactions beyond payments. With rapid adoption among merchants, Alipay Tap is redefining digital engagement in physical spaces.
