Apple has partnered with PrivatBank to bring Apple Pay to Ukraine. Customers with an iPhone 6 or newer wishing to use the contactless payment wallet must install or update the Privat24 app. Apple Pay is set to be rolled out to other banks in the country and the move follows the recent introduction of Google's Android Pay. The new partnership will allow customers who have a smartphone running iOS 8 or later to make purchases using their debit cards at any participating bank without having to enter PIN codes.
