CIMB to support Apple Pay in the second half of 2023

Apple Pay was finally enabled in Malaysia last week with three partner banks on board. During the launch of the new CIMB Octo app today, CIMB confirmed that they are working on supporting Apple Pay but you’ll have to wait until next year.

According to CIMB, they are looking at enabling its cards for Apple Pay towards the second half of 2023. It is worth highlighting that CIMB currently supports Samsung Pay and it works for both Credit and Prepaid cards. Back in 2016, CIMB was also among the first banks in Malaysia to offer mobile payments via NFC with its CIMB Pay app.

If you’re an iPhone or Apple Watch user, Apple Pay currently works with credit cards issued by AmBank, Maybank and Standard Chartered. Out of the three, only Maybank allows users to add their debit and prepaid cards to the Apple Wallet. Acceptance of Apple Pay is similar to Samsung Pay, as it will work with any contactless payment terminals that accept Visa PayWave or Mastercard Paypass.

If you’re using a newer iPhone with Face ID, all you’ll need to do is to double press the power button to use Apple Pay. For older devices such as the iPhone 6, 7 or 8, as well as the iPhone SE, you can authenticate payments via Touch ID. Unlike typical contactless payments, Apple Pay allows you to make payments above RM250 without entering the PIN at the payment terminal.

If you want to get started, you can follow our Apple Pay How-to guide.
