Is Apple Pay available in Italy? / Does Apple Pay work in Italy?

02 Feb 2023

Yes. Apple Pay is now available in Italy, and iPhone users in the country can add eligible credit and debit cards to the Wallet app for use with Apple Pay in stores and online.

In Italy, Visa and MasterCards issued by Boon, Carrefour, and UniCredit can be used with Apple Pay. To use Apple Pay, you must have an Apple device, such as an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. That means you won't be able to use the service if you switch from iPhone to Android, for example.

The top advantage of Apple Pay is that you don't need to carry a payment card or cash if you use Apple Pay. Everything is conveniently contained in one app, ready for you to tap and pay while on the go. Apple Pay is generally a safe, secure system that is resistant to cyberattacks, making it an excellent mobile payment option. Apple Pay uses NFC chips to perform contactless payment transactions, so no internet connection is required. This is fantastic because you can use it freely.
