PayPal debit card users will be able to see their PayPal balance in Apple Wallet starting in 2025.
Plus a new Tap to Provision feature lets users add a credit or debit card to Apple Wallet by simply tapping an eligible card to the back of their iPhone.
These are among a number of features that are new or coming soon to Apple Pay.
A range of improvements coming to Apple Pay and Apple Wallet
Jennifer Bailey, VP of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, talked about the company’s “broader vision of replacing users’ physical wallets with an easy, secure, and private digital wallet — Apple Wallet. We’re always looking for new ways to make using Apple Wallet convenient while delivering unparalleled security and peace of mind.”
One of the improvements is the ability of users to checkout via Apple Pay on computers that don’t offer NFC. Users can be prompted by a cashier to use their iPhone or iPad to scan a code, and will then be able to securely complete the payment with Apple Pay on iPhone or iPad.
Access installment payment options
With the new iOS 18, shoppers can use installment loan options from Affirm in the U.S. and from Monzo Flex in the U.K. when checking out with Apple Pay online and in-app on iPhone and iPad. And starting Thursday, shoppers in the U.S. and U.K. also have the option to access Klarna’s flexible payment options at checkout online and in-app. And Klarna support is coming to Canada soon.
In the future, consumers will also be able to access installment payment options from eligible credit or debit cards when making online purchases with Apple Pay in the U.S. with Citi, Synchrony, and across eligible, participating Apple Pay issuers with Fiserv; in Australia with ANZ; in Singapore with DBS; in Spain with CaixaBank; and in the U.K. with HSBC, NewDay, and Zilch, with more issuers to follow.
Also with iOS 18, Apple Pay users in the U.S. can now redeem rewards with eligible Discover credit cards when they check out with Apple Pay online and in-app on iPhone and iPad.
