OKX says that Apple Pay is now available as a payment option on OKX for customers in the United States and the European Economic Area (EEA). Starting now, Apple Pay is fully integrated into the OKX Buy Crypto flow.
Customers can use Apple Pay to make faster and “more convenient purchases in apps or on the web without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in contact information, card details, or shipping and billing information.”
It’s fast, intuitive, and powered by one of the world’s most trusted digital wallets.
According to a blog post by OKX, here’s what this means for users:
- Instant Purchases: Use your stored cards with Apple Pay and buy crypto in seconds.
- Fewer Steps, Less Friction: Skip the manual entry and get straight to buying.
- Security You Know and Trust: Apple’s biometric authentication and secure enclave keep your transactions protected.
OKX added that it is committed to “making crypto simpler, safer, and more accessible for everyone.”
Integrating Apple Pay is an important step forward “on that journey and just one of many they’re taking to improve the customer experience and drive real-world adoption.”
As covered late last month, digital assets firm OKX is streamlining their operations in the European Union.
Following OKCoin Europe’s registration with the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) as a crypto asset service provider (CASP) under the new EU MiCA regulation, OKCoin Europe Limited reports that it has now passported its license across all European Union nations, including France.
As part of this latest strategic move, OKX Group has now reportedly decided to deregister OKX France Technology Company Limited SAS as a digital asset service provider (PSAN) in France.
As explained in a blog post, all MiCA-regulated crypto services in France are provided exclusively through OKCoin Europe and there is no impact to their EU customers or operations as a result of this deregistration.
As stated in the update from OKX, this decision reflects their broader EU strategy: to operate under a single, unified MiCA license and streamline our regulatory presence across the region.
OKCoin Europe is said to be among the first crypto exchanges to be licensed under MiCA and to “passport its services throughout the EU.”
