An easy, secure and private way to accept contactless payments with only an iPhone, no additional hardware needed.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 December 2025 - Today, KPay Group, a one-stop financial management and business operations platform, now enables its Hong Kong merchants to seamlessly and securely accept in-person contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone.

Tap to Pay on iPhone enables businesses to accept all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the KPay iOS app— no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.

At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant's iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.

Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep business and customers data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn't store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.*

Davis Chan, Co-founder and CEO of KPay, says: "KPay is committed to helping businesses stay ahead in a fast-evolving digital economy. Tap to Pay on iPhone offers our merchants unparalleled flexibility in store or on-the-go, and is especially suitable for Hong Kong's vibrant F&B and leisure industries.

It lowers the barrier to collecting payments, fuels the growth of microbusinesses, and unlocks scalable opportunities for high-volume chains and pop-up events. We're proud to deliver seamless, future-proof solutions that elevate both customer experience and business performance."

Sharing the same vision to empower micro and small businesses in Hong Kong, KPay's strategic partner, Mastercard, fully supports the launch of the new payment acceptance solution in the market. Helena Chen, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Hong Kong & Macau, Mastercard, says:
"Contactless payments are essential for small merchants. Through our collaboration with KPay, Mastercard is helping SMEs in Hong Kong embrace Tap to Pay on iPhone — a secure, simple, and cost-effective way to accept contactless payments, while enabling cardholders to enjoy a seamless and trusted payment experience at more merchants across the city. This initiative underscores Mastercard's commitment to advancing digital inclusion and empowering more small businesses to thrive in an increasingly connected economy."

Tap to Pay on iPhone enables KPay Group customers to use a payment solution that is easy to set up and use. Merchants will be able to unlock contactless payment acceptance through the KPay app on an iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS.

Hong Kong businesses can also get special offers on devices and data plans when signing up for Tap to Pay on iPhone with Hong Kong Telecommunications through participating payment platforms.
