Apple has launched its contactless payment service in South Africa.

The service is available through three South African banks, namely Absa Group, Nedbank Group and Discovery Bank, which is part of the Discovery group.

The use of digital finance and payments systems has surged in South Africa and elsewhere as the coronavirus crisis has prompted a shift towards e-commerce and contactless payments.

Apple Pay has joined Samsung’s digital wallet offering, Samsung Pay, which was launched in South Africa in 2018.
