Apple Pay now in Singapore - Learn How to Activate it Now!

in

Remember how we were speculating last November that Apple Pay was coming to Singapore? Well, it's finally here and you can activate it as we speak. At the moment, Apple Pay is only available for American Express cardholders in Singapore but other credit and debit cards (Visa and MasterCard) from Singapore's most popular banks like UOB, DBS and Standard Chartered will work with Apple Pay in the coming months.
