PayPal and Apple Pay: Why there is no interface

Integrating PayPal into Apple's payment system is currently not possible.

• Apple Pay always requires a card from a cooperating bank to process payments. Although a virtual card can be created via PayPal, this can not be linked with Apple Pay.
• Since Apple Pay earns its money mainly through credit card transactions, a cooperation between the payment services on both sides has not been worthwhile.
• In addition, most PayPal customers are also Android users at the same time. Therefore, there is also, unlike Apple Pay, an interface between Google Pay and PayPal.

How can you use Apple Pay without PayPal?

Prerequisite for the use of Apple Pay is a valid credit card. In addition to the mostly paid cards from participating banks, you can also get a card by opening a free online account. An account with N26 offers you a free Master Card that can be easily synced with Apple Pay.
