Apple Announces Support for NFC Tags That Trigger Apple Pay

Apple has announced upcoming support for NFC tags that trigger Apple Pay. VP of Apple Pay Jennifer Bailey made the announcement at the ETA TRANSACT conference in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.

Yesterday, developer Steve Moser shared some photos from the presentation on Twitter. The photos were taken by his co-worker Scott Harkey.

The NFC tags will allow users to make a payment without needing to have an app installed.


Apple announced support for NFC stickers/tags that trigger Apple Pay for payment without having an app installed. Imagine tapping your phone on a scooter or a parking-meter and paying for it without signing up or downloading an app first.

Apple is working with Bird scooters, Bonobos, and PayByPhone (parking-meters) on the initial rollout. Additionally, Moser notes that instant-enrollment for loyalty cards in Apple Wallet is coming.

More details will likely be shared at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference next month.
