On October 20, 2014, Apple launched its Apple Pay payment service
Exactly six years ago, on October 20, 2014, Apple launched its Apple Pay payment service. Over the years, Apple Pay has taken the third place in the contactless payment market, and transactions through the Apple wallet account for about 5% of card transactions in the world. This share is projected to double by 2025. Today, more than half of iPhone owners in the world do not carry a wallet with cards - they pay in stores and transport using Apple Pay.
On the payment service's birthday, we have collected TOP-6 interesting facts about Apple Pay and share them with you.

2. The number of users last year was 441 million (for comparison - in 2018 there were 292 million).
3. 48% of iPhone users worldwide use Apple Pay.
4. The service ranks third in the contactless payment market.
5. In the USA, the homeland of the service, payment with Apple Pay in retail outlets is not very popular. However, since March 2020 (during the quarantine period), this figure has increased by 59%.
6. In Ukraine, Apple Pay was launched in May 2018. Now Ukraine is in the TOP-10 countries in terms of the popularity of the Apple Pay mobile payment system. 31 Ukrainian banks support the service - a little less than half.
