Apple Pay now available in Switzerland

Apple Pay, the contactless payment service for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch — and coming soon to the Safari on the Mac — is now available in Switzerland. With support for Visa and MasterCard through Bonus Card, Corner Card, and Swiss Bankers, it expands Apple Pay's presence to yet another country, following the U.S., U.K, Canada, Australia, China, and Singapore. Hong Kong and France are expected to follow this summer.

With Apple Pay you can quickly and securely tap-to-pay at retailers including Apple, Aldi Suisse, Avec, C&A, K Kiosk, Lidl, Mobile Zone, P&B, Spar, and Top CC.

Check out our Apple Pay ultimate guide for more on how to use the service, and check out Apple.com for information on how it's implemented in Switzerland specifically.
