Adyen Goes Live with Tap to Pay on iPhone in Sweden

Adyen has officially enabled Tap to Pay on iPhone end of October in five new regions: Sweden, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland and Romania.

The functionality allows businesses to use an iPhone to accept contactless payments, without the need to purchase or manage additional hardware.

“We have seen how Tap to Pay on iPhone has changed how consumers and businesses experience mobile payments for the better across the many regions where Tap to Pay on iPhone is already available with Adyen,”

commented Alexa von Bismarck, President EMEA at Adyen.

“We’re proud to be expanding it to new countries together with Apple.”

Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.

Using an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be completed using NFC technology.
