HitPay has launched Tap to Pay on iPhone in Malaysia, allowing merchants to accept contactless payments using an iPhone and the HitPay iOS app.
The feature supports contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and other digital wallets.
Customers can pay by holding their card or device near the merchant’s iPhone, with transactions completed through NFC technology.
The launch follows HitPay’s rollout of Tap to Pay on iPhone in Singapore in December 2025.
The service is aimed at smaller businesses looking to accept in-person payments without dedicated hardware or monthly terminal rentals.
Merchants can receive instant, full upfront payments, which may help with cash flow management.
It is also intended for online businesses expanding into offline sales, including at pop-ups, markets, showrooms and events.
Retailers can use it to equip staff with mobile checkout capabilities to reduce queues and improve the in-store experience.
Aditya Haripurkar, CEO of HitPay, said,
“Tap to Pay on iPhone removes traditional barriers to in-person acceptance by eliminating the need for additional hardware.
Whether you’re an online brand launching your first physical activation or a retailer looking for more mobility at checkout, your iPhone can now become your storefront. We’re excited to bring this powerful capability to businesses across Malaysia.”
Merchants can get started within minutes through the HitPay iOS app on iPhone 11 or later running the latest version of iOS.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the device’s built-in security and privacy features.
Card numbers and transaction information are not stored on the device or on Apple servers, although encrypted card numbers may be temporarily stored on iPhone for transactions made in Store and Forward mode.
