Surging news news, on February 8, US time, Apple announced plans to launch "tap payment" on the iPhone, using "tap payment" merchants through a simple iPhone tap, seamlessly and securely accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards and other digital wallets, without the need for additional hardware or payment terminals. Apple says more than 90 percent of U.S. retailers have embraced Apple Pay, and with this new feature, nearly every business, big or small, can get their customers to click pay on their iPhones at checkout. Apple says that with Tap to Pay on iPhones, customers' payment data is protected by technology. All transactions made with Tap to Pay on an iPhone are encrypted and processed using security technology, and like Apple Pay, Apple doesn't know what it's buying or who's buying it. The service is currently limited to the U.S. and will support credit cards such as Apple Pay, Visa, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover.
