Apple Pay support is now coming to Brazil following the approval from its largest fintech, Nubank, to back up the Cupertino giant's payment system.
The plan for supporting Apple Pay has been around for many years since many customers are always requesting the Brazilian fintech to adopt it.
However, it took a long time for the Latin American neobank to grant to make it happen.
Nubank Earlier Teased Apple Pay Support
Nubank, the biggest financial bank technology in Brazil now allows Apple Pay Support for Apple Wallet.
Nubank has previously announced in July that it would launch an Apple Card-like card dubbed as Ultraviolet card.
The user of this card will gain numerous benefits that a Black credit card has. Most importantly, the most expected action of Nubank to adopt Apple Pay support was formerly teased.
The South American financial technology bank wrote in its blog post that the Apple Pay support is now official on the Apple Wallet.
Users can now have an alternative payment system starting Tuesday, Aug. 31. The company also added that Nubank credit or debit card users can use the recent Apple Pay support.

Nubank Under Scrutiny After Apple Pay Listing
At one point, Nubank was criticized by many users after not offering Apple Pay just one month after the listing appeared.
During that time, the Brazil-based bank did not disclose any information about its possible release date.
Nubank only said that the Apple feature would come "very soon," according to Seu Credit Digital. In a statement, Nubank said that the announcement has not been finalized for Apple Pay.
In April, the feature reached the clipper card.
The train passengers can now utilize the Apple Card on-board. They could refrain from the typical card tapping and instead, stick to the easy access through a smartphone.
In July, Apple also announced the "Apple Pay Later," which is now underway. The tech giant said that the feature would work for monthly installments through Goldman Sachs. This would be handy for those who have no current cash on their stash.
