' The in-store experience remains a key touchpoint between consumers and brands, so we're proud to be expanding this offering to even more countries today in partnership with Apple'.
'Tap to Pay on iPhone has been a key component in delivering a best-in-class checkout experience for our customers,' said Valentijn Bolle, IT Product Owner at Suitsupply.

Together with Adyen, we're looking forward to providing this seamless, flexible and efficient payment experience to even more customers across the globe.'
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed. Using an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant's iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.
Tap to Pay on iPhone will enable Adyen's customers to stay at the forefront of innovation by: Simplifying in-person payments by removing the dependence on payment hardware to accept transactions, providing a complementary way to accept payments for line-busting.
Getting up and running quickly with installation and onboarding, allowing businesses to scale up their payment operation.
Providing safe and fast checkout experiences that increase mobility on location.
Allowing for a convenient and secure way to pay for customers since transactions are encrypted and payment data is protected by the same technology that makes Apple Pay private and secure.
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple does not store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.

British fintech boss accused of ‘backdoor' power grab in row over US move
The boss of British fintech champion Wise has been accused of a 'backdoor' power grab over claims he is hijacking a crunch shareholder vote to tighten his grip on the company. Kristo Käärmann, chief executive of Wise, has been attacked by his former partner for allegedly 'blindsiding' investors with a proposal that will award him extra rights. Taavet Hinrikus, who co-founded Wise with Mr Käärmann in 2010, told The Telegraph that the measures were 'buried' in a plan to move the £11bn payments business's main listing to the US, which will go to a shareholder vote on Monday. As well as proposing the shift from London to New York, Wise is seeking shareholder approval for a 10-year extension to super-voting shares held by a handful of insiders, including Mr Käärmann. Those shares, which represent 90pc of the total voting rights at Wise, had been set to expire in July 2026. Mr Hinrikus, 44, has claimed that bundling the two issues into one vote is 'entirely inappropriate and unfair', as he urged other investors to reject the plan. He said: 'The fact that most of the investors were surprised or blindsided is telling. Most of them agree that this governance change does not make Wise a better company.' Growing rift The row reveals a stark rift between Mr Hinrikus and Mr Käärmann, who launched the business together in 2010. Mr Hinrikus previously served as chief executive of Wise until 2017. He then served as chairman until Wise's listing in London in 2021 before stepping down. Mr Hinrikus said bosses appeared to be seeking to tighten their grip on Wise 'through the backdoor'. Super-voting shares are widely used by Silicon Valley founders to gain extra control over the business they set up. For example, Mark Zuckerberg holds ultimate voting control at Meta thanks to his special shares. However, critics argue they can undermine shareholder democracy and hand too much power to the chief executive. Mr Käärmann, who is worth close to £2bn, currently controls more than 50pc of the voting rights in the company but owns just 18pc of shares. Meanwhile, Mr Hinrikus has about 12pc of voting control and a 5pc overall stake, worth more than £500m. The vote on Monday requires a 75pc majority to pass. Dissolving bond Mr Käärmann, 44, and Mr Hinrikus founded Wise – originally Transferwise – after bonding over their shared bugbear of sending money back home to Estonia. The business aimed to make sending money overseas cheap and painless. It has since expanded into savings products and spending cards. After attracting venture capital from Silicon Valley investors, the company went public at a valuation of around £8bn. It is now worth close to £11bn and reported profits before tax of £564.8m last year. In June, Mr Käärmann confirmed Wise planned to shift its main listing to New York while maintaining a secondary listing in London. He said this would help 'accelerate our mission' and bring 'capital market benefits to Wise and our owners'. The loss of such a substantial technology business risks fuelling fears of a death spiral for the London Stock Exchange, which has struggled to hang on to blue-chip listings and suffered an exodus of companies.

AI and the Future of Finance: Sam Altman at the Federal Reserve: By Vipin Kumar Sharma
Sam Altman joined the Federal Reserve this week to talk about AI's growing role in finance, and every FinTech leader should be paying attention. On July 22, 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joined the Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman in Washington, D.C. to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping banking, security, and the future of financial services. Yes, the CEO of OpenAI walked into one of the most traditional institutions in global finance and painted a future that's anything but conventional. Here are some key takeaways from their discussion: AI voice cloning is becoming highly realistic. Altman pointed out that AI can now mimic voices so well that traditional tools, such as voice-based authentication, may no longer be reliable, especially for high-value transactions. It's time to rethink security. Banks and regulators must develop new, more advanced methods to verify identities and prevent fraud as AI becomes increasingly sophisticated. AI can drive real improvements. From faster credit checks to better customer service, Altman believes AI can help financial institutions become more efficient and cost-effective if implemented thoughtfully. AI should be accessible, not exclusive. He emphasized the importance of 'democratizing AI,' ensuring that the benefits of this technology are widely shared and not concentrated among a few large players. Job roles may shift, but opportunities can also change. While some roles will change due to automation, Altman stressed the need for retraining and smart policy to help workers transition and grow with new tools. While no formal partnership was announced, both OpenAI and the Fed expressed interest in continued dialogue and collaboration. AI in finance isn't just a future concept; it's already part of the conversation at the highest levels. Now is the time for leaders in finance, technology, and policy to collaborate and shape the future.
