Apple has launched Tap to Pay on iPhone in eight additional European countries, allowing merchants to accept in-person contactless payments using only their iPhones and compatible apps. This feature supports payments via contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, enhancing payment processing for businesses of all sizes. Privacy and security remain a priority, with transactions encrypted and processed securely.

Nubank has introduced a tap-to-pay feature for in-store transactions using Brazil's Pix instant payments system, allowing customers with an Android device to make contactless payments. Users can choose to pay from their account balance or credit, with an option for up to 12 instalments, and can easily add a shortcut to their home screen for convenience. Pix, launched in late 2020, has quickly become the most popular payment method in Brazil.
