As had been expected, Apple Pay has officially launched in Israel. Previous reports had indicated that a launch would happen in the country sometime this year.
Israeli news outlet The Verifier reports the launch means that customers of all banks and credit card companies in Israel will now be able to add the credit card or direct debit card to the service on their iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac computer.
Adding Your Credit or Debit Card to Apple Pay
Once Apple Pay arrives in their country, users can add their credit or debit card to the service by doing the following:
- iPhone users running iOS 12 can go to the Wallet app and tap the “+” icon in the upper right-hand corner to begin, and then just follow the prompts. Users of iPads with Touch ID can add a card to the service to use in apps by going into “Settings” -> “Wallet & Apple Pay” to add a card there.
- Apple Watch users will need to enter the Watch app on their iPhone, Tap on the “Wallet & Apple Pay” option, and then tap the “Add Credit or Debit Card” option.
First introduced in 2014, Apple Pay is now available in over 50 countries or regions around the world.
The full list of Apple Pay countries and regions is available on Apple’s website.
