JAKARTA After launching Tap to Pay for iPhone users in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Chile, Apple is now introducing its features in Egypt. This feature was only released on Tuesday, December 10.

According to an Egypt Today report, citing from 9to5mac, Apple partnered with three local banks in launching its contactless services. The three banks are the National Bank of Egypt, Banque Misr, and Commercial International Bank (CIB).

The company explains that Apple Pay will partner with more Egyptian banks to expand the service. That way, Apple Pay can reach more bank customers in the coming weeks.

Apple Pay is a transaction solution developed by Apple. While using this payment feature, iPhone users or Apple Watch can make contactless transactions in any store.

In addition to making payments without direct contact at the store, users can also take advantage of Apple Pay in transactions on applications and various websites. Just like the payment system in stores, users can make payments in just a few taps.

Apple Pay is also available in the web version so users can make payments on Macs or iPads. Before making a payment, make sure that you have registered debit cards and credit cards into Apple Wallet applications.

To date, Apple Pay is available in more than 80 countries and the majority is in Europe. In the Asia Pacific region, only 12 countries support this service such as Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and others. Indonesia has not supported this service
