Adyen & NewStore enable Tap to Pay on iPhone in Australia

By Gloria Mathias

Adyen, the global financial technology platform, brings Tap to Pay on iPhone to its Australian retailer customers enabling a new checkout experience.

Adyen and NewStore will enable Tap to Pay on iPhone for their joint customers, which accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app.

At checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.

“It’s important for us to remain innovative, it’s in our brand DNA, so we’re pleased to be one of the first major retailers in Australia to implement Tap to Pay on iPhone. Taking away an extra device and hurdle in the transaction flow will let us offer an even more seamless experience for our customers and staff at Lorna Jane’s 100+ stores across the country,” said Peter Clarke, Chief Technology Officer, Lorna Jane.

“As a customer-first brand, we are excited to be one of the first major retailers in Australia to roll out Tap to Pay on iPhone as it will make that checkout experience even easier for both our store team and our customers, said Peter Ratcliffe, Head of Technology, R.M.Williams.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Tap to Pay on iPhone to Australian merchants,” said Hayley Fisher, Country Manager for Australia, and New Zealand at Adyen. “This represents a significant step forward in the evolution of digital payments, offering Australians a fast, secure, and convenient way to make transactions. We believe this technology will revolutionize the payments landscape and provide immense value to both consumers and businesses.”
