Tap to pay on iPhone

Which card did you add?

India.

Apple needs RBI license to process the apple pay payments which it hasn't taken and possibly won't take because RBI wants the database to be made and stored in India, also apple doesn't give the access of biometrics etc to any third party. And in India There is no relaxation to it. All others like Gpay, samsung pay have taken the licenses from RBI and are allowed to operate their wallet in India. It's not banks that are in fault but Apples negligence for India.

I work for American Express Network and hence have a fare bit of idea about payment network

Any openings tho? 😳😳

Did anyone try adding Indian credit card to a region set to US or similar?

You can try it won't work for sure. Apple can't process Indian cards plus none of the Indian banks are using apple wallet.

May be one day, I will be able to afford iPhone and all these issues/compatibility on the app/NFC's are sorted out by then 🙂

Hopefully Apple card also will be there soon in India

I am just waiting for PayTM and PhonePe to integrate RuPay credit cards for all phones. Then Apple may not invest at all in Indian Payment System.

I have 2 US Credit cards in India. I can add them to Apple wallet in India, tap to pay works just fine on majority of NFC machines. I have tried it on different malls and petrol stations.

Your phone must have been bought outside india
May be it’s a US make , and you have configured the cards in non India setting

Why are you even trying ? 😂 It doesn’t work like that. The bank has to setup this feature with Apple Wallet app first then only it can work. When I was in Russia some banks worked some didn’t. Some banks later introduced the feature and mailed us to inform. That is how this works. We could add the card directly into Apple wallet app from the bank mobile application. But the bank has to develop that method and introduce it.

SBI card is giving promotion for contactless payment using Gpay. Is it android only?
