Citi partners with Apple Pay
Citi cardholders can now tap and pay with their Apple devices.
Citi is the latest bank to jump on the Apple Pay bandwagon. From today, Citi credit card holders can use Apple Pay to make contactless payments with their smartphones or smartwatches.
Citi is now one of the largest banks (as well as the likes of ANZ, American Express and HSBC) that has partnered with Apple Pay. Meanwhile, the rest of the Big Four (CommBank, NAB and Westpac) have yet to partner with Apple Pay as a result of disputes over access to the tech giant’s NFC in an attempt to run their own payment apps on iOS devices.
Citi considers itself a bank that strives to stand at the front of digital innovation, so Apple Pay was a natural partnership to suit its customers needs.
“Apple Pay is something that’s very important to our customers, and we are pleased to be able to launch this functionality for them,” said Citi Australia’s head of cards and loans Richard Wilde.
