Once launched, developers will be able to access the iOS software development kit directly from Optimal’s Developer Centre. Merchants will have the added benefit of a single-source provider for all of their online payments solutions.

“Mobile commerce continues to accelerate exponentially,” said Danny Chazonoff, chief operating officer at Optimal.

“Being able to offer Apple Pay supports our strategy of providing merchants and consumers with innovative payment options that reduce friction and provide an enhanced shopping experience, using the most secure payment technologies available.”
