Does Canada have Apple Pay/is Apple Pay available in Canada?

02 Feb 2023

Yes, you can. Apple Pay is accepted anywhere contactless payments are accepted, which includes Canada. Apple Pay can be used to pay for transportation, apps, and purchases in stores.

Customers of TD and Scotia can now use Apple Pay with their credit and debit cards. More than 28.5 million Canadians use Interac debit cards, and over 70 million use credit cards issued by the country's banks. Only a small percentage of Canadian smartphone owners have iPhones, and even fewer have Apple Pay-enabled devices. If you want to add credit or debit cards to your Apple Pay account, go to Settings > Wallet. If you ask, it will see if it can find you while you're using the app. With this information, you will be able to determine which passes you have and where you are.

In Canada, Apple Pay is accepted in an increasing number of stores, restaurants, and other retailers. Many apps have also added Apple Pay to their list of accepted payment methods. At the checkout, simply look for the Apple Pay or contactless payment symbols. 

The iPhone is the most commonly used device for Apple Pay.

Apple Pay, on the other hand, is available on the Mac, Apple Watch, and iPad. So, if you forget your iPhone at home, you can still make contactless payments with your Apple Watch. Similarly, having Apple Pay enabled on your iPad or Mac can greatly simplify online transactions.
