Is Apple Pay available in Ireland/does Apple Pay work in Ireland?

10 May 2023 By PAYCEC

Yes, Apple Pay is available in Ireland. Apple Pay has arrived in Ireland as a new contactless payment option. The service enables iPhone and Apple Watch owners to pay for their purchases at contactless terminals in retail stores by using the NFC chips in their devices. To use Apple Pay in Ireland, you must have an Apple device, such as an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.

To use Apple Pay’s contactless payment function, open the Wallet app on your iOS device and click the “Add a Card” option. Then, using your device’s camera, scan the banking information to integrate your card into the system. If the bank issuing your card accepts Apple Pay, it will appear in the Wallet app.

Despite the highly anticipated arrival of Apple Pay in Ireland, its implementation has been hampered by the limited backing of only two banks, Ulster Bank and KBC, so far. Apple Pay supports the Wirecard Boon prepaid card system in Ireland.

Despite supporting Android Pay in late 2016, Irish banks such as AIB have yet to reach an agreement with Apple. A spokesperson for AIB said that negotiations with Apple are ongoing, but there is ‘nothing to announce at this time.’

On the other hand, many merchants in Ireland, including major supermarkets such as Marks and Spencers, Lidl, Aldi, and Dunnes, are advertising support for Apple Pay.
