80% of digital wallet payments in Australia made from Apple devices

Eight in ten in-person contactless payments made from digital wallets using Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) debit and credit cards are made by tapping an Apple device.

This means digital wallets are close to becoming the most popular way to pay in person, the bank says.

In the United States, Apple Pay accounted for 92% of debit card transactions completed using a mobile wallet in 2020.
