Apple Pay launches in South Korea
Following regulatory hurdles, Apple Pay was expected to launch in South Korea at any time, which has only been recently confirmed by Apple. Now, it seems the feature is live, according to a couple of sources.
A Twitter user, only known as “Aaron,” or user @aaronp613, has shared an image of code indicating Apple Pay is live in South Korea. Alongside this, he’s also shared a link to a Korean Apple support document with more information.
These lists are maintained by Apple, but aren’t always up to date, so users will need to check with their card providers for support. For example, despite this indicating a launch of Apple Pay in the region, Apple’s support document for where Apple Pay is available hasn’t been updated to show South Korea.
