Apple Pay is now officially available in Paraguay. Apple is expanding this payment platform by partnering with Mastercard.
Cards issued by Banco Continental, Itau, and Ueno Bank can all be added to Apple Wallet and used with Apple Pay.
Although it can already be used in Paraguay, Apple Pay can only be used by Mastercard users from the above three banks that stand in the country. It is not clear whether Apple Pay’s services will be expanded to more banks that provide Mastercard.
“We are excited to be working with our publishers to bring convenience, security and privacy of Apple Pay to consumers in Paraguay. This launch strengthens Mastercard’s commitment to offer innovative solutions,” said Federico Cofman, Mastercard Cluster Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Overall, how Apple Pay works is the same as other countries.
Paraguay joins the list of other countries in South America where Apple Pay is available, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia.
