It's 1.5 years since I was in Tokyo and I didn't have Apple Pay at the time - but isn't NFC Visa and MasterCard payments rolled out yet?
International Apple Pay is just standard NFC, so I would be surprised if it doesn't work on the credit card terminal
- donw 6y agoPayments in Japan are complicated. Picture an iPad Pro screen full of nothing but different payment types -- all from competing vendors! -- and that's what the payment screen looks like at my local combini. Some places will accept a NFC payment from my credit card, but still can't do ApplePay. Or they accept a wide variety of local NFC payments -- Suica/Pasmo, all the rest -- but not from credit cards. There's also a host of payment apps -- PayPay, LINE Pay, probably three or four others. Plus JCB cards. And a bunch of flavors in-between.
