Curve Pay Is the First Wallet in EEA to Compete with Apple on iOS

Curve launched Curve Pay on iOS in the European Economic Area on May 22, 2025, providing an alternative to Apple Pay for iPhone users.
This launch follows the European Commission's ruling that forced Apple to allow third-party payment apps access to NFC, ending an antitrust investigation in July 2024.
Curve Pay supports over 120 global currencies, offers zero fees, and gives users better spending insights and control by integrating with Apple Pay.
Curve’s CEO Shachar Bialick explained that Curve Pay offers users a new perspective on managing their finances and provides access to smarter ways to handle spending.
The launch marks a significant shift in mobile payments by expanding choice for iOS consumers and signals increasing competition in the European digital wallet market.
