“Ahead of launching in Brazil, which Tim Cook says is coming sometime this year, Apple Pay Cash appears to be rolling out to users in Ireland and Spain,” Peter Cao reports for 9to5Mac.
“While not officially confirmed, Apple Pay Cash seems to be launching in Spain,” Cao reports. “We’ve also heard rumblings of the feature working in the U.K. and Ireland.”
“The feature allows peer-to-peer payments by using any of your cards registered in the Wallet app,” Cao reports. “Transactions are free for debit cards, but will incur a 3% fee when using credit cards.”

MacDailyNews Take: We like Apple Pay Cash. It’s seamless. Have you used it, yet?
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Dan K.” for the heads up.]
It works as expected. If both persons have it set up, it is instantaneous. Much smoother than Venmo, PayPal or any other third-party offerings.
It is really important that Apple promote this. There is a large user base for Venmo, among younger demographics, that is enthusiastic about it and uses it on almost a daily basis for small “I’m going to Starbucks, want something?” type of transactions. Apple Pay Cash can easily supplant all of these (minus the small percentage of non-iPhone users) if only these young people knew how much easier it is.
