Apple turns on support for Tap to Cash NFC peer-to-peer mobile payments

Apple Watch and iPhone users in the US can now utilize Apple’s Tap to Cash service for peer-to-peer money transfers via NFC. Additionally, the new Tap to Provision service allows users to add a payment card to Apple Wallet using NFC.

Launched in June, Tap to Cash became available with the release of iOS 18 and watchOS 11 on September 16.

“With Tap to Cash, users can send and receive Apple Cash by holding two iPhone devices together, without needing to share phone numbers,” Apple explained at launch. “This service is perfect for paying someone back at dinner or making a purchase at a garage sale.”

Users can transfer between $1 and $2,000 per transaction, with a rolling seven-day maximum transfer limit of $2,000.
