Since the introduction of Apple Pay, Apple's wireless payments technology has been expanding around the world. Currently, it is found in almost twenty countries, many of them in Europe, where we can only find Spain, as a Spanish-speaking country. As Apple's international expansion continues, everything seems to indicate that Brazil will be the next country to use Apple Pay and to be able to make purchases directly from your compatible mobile devices, including the iPhone, Apple Watch and Safari.
According to the Brazilian media iHelpBR, citing sources related to the Itaú Unibanco group, the largest banking group in Brazil, it could be the first group to receive Apple Pay with open hands, being the first to offer this service exclusively. iHelpBR has contacted the bank to try to confirm these rumors, but the group has not confirmed or denied the news, so It is not ruled out that it may soon be available to all customers in this group. Brazil is one of the countries where contactless payment, through the use of NFC chips, has become more than common in most businesses.
Currently, Apple Pay is available in Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Canada and of course the United States, where the number of banks and credit institutions that today are compatible with Apple Pay exceeds a thousand.
