Apple rarely shares information on Apple Pay. Its financials place it under the company's Services segment - combining it with figures on the Apple App Store or Apple TV. Local banks that offer Apple Pay are contractually not allowed to share user numbers or transaction counts. Domestic surveys - which are often only done locally and cannot be compared against those of other countries - tend to ask whether consumers use Apple Pay but rarely ask for specific transaction figures. The last available estimate on global Apple Pay users is that over *** million people activated the service on their iPhones. Roughly *** out of 10 Apple Pay users are from the United States. Online versus offline Apple Pay is frequently associated with proximity mobile payments - paying with mobile devices in physical stores using NFC or contactless technology. China is the country with the highest adoption of such tap-to-pay transactions. This technology was noticeably popular in Asia-Pacific, more so than in North America or Europe. The situation was different when looking at Apple Pay acceptance in e-commerce: English-speaking countries - especially the United States - tend to already accept Apple Pay in 2022.

Nearly **** percent of merchants in Italy with at least one Payment Acceptance or Payment Processor technology up to August 2023 had Google Pay on their website.
