Apple Pay Launch in Puerto Rico

Apple has officially launched Apple Pay for local banks in Puerto Rico, expanding the service to cardholders of Banco Popular, the first local bank to support it. This development allows residents to use their eligible cards with Apple’s payment platform via iPhone and Apple Watch for contactless payments in stores, online, and across apps and websites. Previously, Apple Pay was only available in Puerto Rico for US-issued cards due to its status as a US territory.

Key Features of Apple Pay

  • Contactless Payments: Users can make secure payments by tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch at payment terminals.
  • Online and App Support: Apple Pay works seamlessly for online transactions and within various apps.
  • Global Availability: Launched in 2014, Apple Pay is now available in numerous countries worldwide.

Differentiating Tap to Pay

It's important to note that Apple Pay is distinct from 'Tap to Pay,' a feature that turns iPhones into payment terminals for accepting contactless payments from others.

For more details on using Apple Pay, users can refer to Apple’s official website.
