Mexico becomes the latest country where iPhone users can accept contactless payments via Tap to Pay, following a 2022 US launch and expansion to nine additional nations. This move allows businesses of any size to process payments without special hardware. Supported platforms include Adyen, Clip, Mercado Pago and Visa Acceptance Platform, marking Apple's full rollout across North America.

The expansion underscores Apple's strategy to solidify its payment ecosystem amid competition from Google and Microsoft services.
