Apple is expanding its Tap to Pay on iPhone feature to eight new European countries, allowing merchants to accept contactless payments using only an iPhone. Alongside this expansion, Apple will roll out Tap to Provision in 10 more countries, making it easier for users to add cards to digital wallets without manual entry.
