Apple Pay Reportedly Launching in India TodayTuesday September 29, 2026 12:52 pm PDT by Joe RossignolApple Pay is set to launch in India later today (Wednesday local time), starting with Axis Bank credit cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks, according to TechCrunch. India already has a popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system for digital bank-to-bank payments, so the initial rollout of Apple Pay in the country is expected to be limited.
