Apple is set to launch Apple Pay in India next month starting with Axis Bank credit cards, aiming to expand its presence in the populous country's digital payments market.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 14 sources have reported it between 18 Sep 2026 and 2 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple's entry into India with Axis Bank creates an opening for fintech founders to partner early with banks lagging behind HDFC and ICICI. You should use this to secure footholds before Apple broadens its bank partnerships.
