Officially, Apple Pay can only be used in the United States. But unofficially, it is possible to use it in other countries, on one condition: to have a US credit card. User Beau Giles explains on his blog have been able to make a payment with its iPhone in Australia. He even publishes screenshots with the Australian dollar amount displayed to prove his point.
Outside the United States, it is possible to access the Apple Pay menu via a very simple setting. Just change the region of its iPhone and choose "United States". The Apple Pay menu appears in the Passbook application. The user only has to follow the instructions to enter his credit card.
Internationally, the payment can be made on any NFC this terminal in shops or elsewhere. In a video, YouTube TechSmartt shows the operation in Canada. He could afford a drink via a vending machine equipped with an NFC terminal. When paying, he approached his iPhone terminal, put his finger on Touch ID and payment has been accepted.
Apple hopes to offer Apple Pay quickly in different countries of the world. Europe will certainly be the next target market given the number of NFC terminals present. Availability in 2015 could be done.
