Apple expands Tap to Pay on iPhone to France

Merchants in France can now accept contactless card and mobile payments on their Apple iPhone without requiring any additional hardware, thanks to Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone softPOS service1.

The service is supported by banks in the BPCE Group, including Banques Populaires, Caisses d’Epargne, and Payplug, as well as payment services providers Adyen, myPOS, Revolut, SumUp, Viva Wallet, and Worldline1. Support from BNP Paribas, Crédit Coopératif, Market Pay, Stancer, and Stripe is also expected soon1.

Merchants deploying Tap to Pay for iPhone at numerous points of sale in France include Christian Dior, Dyson, Rituals, and Sézane, as well as restaurants that support L’Addition payment service1. Cosmetics brand Sephora will also roll out the service in its French stores in the coming weeks.
