Is there any app which allows tap to pay using credit card on iPhone in India?
I can re-collect and relate to another incident of PayZap or so as well in iOS.

I LOL when I saw this message of @Wealth is my birth right!

You have the costliest Status phone - Iphone, but can't use for certain things
Which is same like Amex which gives privilege's and gives a status of holding their card but you can't use it in most of the shop due to the acceptance issue.

No because Apple doesn’t allow third party apps to use the phone’s NFC feature directly. But banks can implement this feature through iOS wallet app. Sadly no bank in India is doing it. When I was in Russia all banks had integrated their cards with iOS wallet app so tap and pay used to work flawlessly and you could authenticate transactions with fingerprint.

the problem is from Indian Bank sides. apple way is preferred mode of payment in western world. I personally use apple watch to make payments. It's very convinent as no need to even remove the phone from pocket.

Banks need to pay apple to get onboarded on Apple pay? Google did the smart thing of making India specific pay app. Apple doesn't consider India worth the investment for now or just the classic apple "my way or no way" thinking.

May be one day, I will be able to afford iPhone and all these issues/compatibility on the app/NFC's are sorted out by then :)

Hopefully Apple card also will be there soon in India

Apple needs RBI license to process the apple pay payments which it hasn't taken and possibly won't take because RBI wants the database to be made and stored in India, also apple doesn't give the access of biometrics etc to any third party. And in India There is no relaxation to it. All others like Gpay, samsung pay have taken the licenses from RBI and are allowed to operate their wallet in India. It's not banks that are in fault but Apples negligence for India.

I work for American Express Network and hence have a fare bit of idea about payment network

Yes apple is quite secure, they only give access to Government in extreme cases where there is a court order etc. All the data sharing is done via Apples layer so it doesn't actually share any of it's data with anyone and that's the reason NPCI didn't give them UPI license

They could give access to NFC api. So that google or cred or paytm could implement it.

I have 2 US Credit cards in India. I can add them to Apple wallet in India, tap to pay works just fine on majority of NFC machines. I have tried it on different malls and petrol stations.
