Apple Pay has officially launched in the Philippines, enabling iPhone and Apple Watch users to add supported credit and debit cards to the Wallet app for contactless payments. The service went live on August 4, 2026, according to local reports.
To use Apple Pay, customers open the Wallet app on their iPhone or Apple Watch, tap the plus icon, and follow the prompts to add their eligible cards. The service works with participating banks and card issuers in the country, including major financial institutions.
Apple Pay is accepted at all merchants that support contactless payments, including stores, restaurants, and transit systems. Users can also use it for online purchases within apps and on the web via Safari.
The launch expands Apple's payment service to another Southeast Asian market, following its introduction in other countries in the region. The service is available on iPhone models from 2018 onwards and Apple Watch models from Series 3 onwards.
