Chase Payment Solutions, a subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Payments, expanded its Tap to Pay on iPhone feature for Canadian merchants. Sephora was the first client to enable this feature in August 2023, according to a press release.

"When we launched Tap to Pay on iPhone for our U.S. merchants last summer, we were one of the first banks to deliver this convenient and flexible tap-and-go checkout process," Max Neukirchen, global co-head of J.P. Morgan Payments, said in the release. "Today, we are excited to expand those capabilities to Canadian merchants as we continue to build a modern Payments business. As consumers increasingly demand fast, convenient and frictionless payments, we have a proven track record of innovating at scale to help merchants meet—and exceed—those expectations."

"Innovation and the customer shopping journey are key pillars of Sephora's business, and working with J.P. Morgan Payments to deliver Tap to Pay on iPhone is a key example of how Sephora is continuing to provide an elevated experience for our consumers," Stefan Jensen, VP, treasurer, Sephora, said in the release. "After introducing Tap to Pay on iPhone in our U.S. stores last year, our beauty community has really embraced this new way to pay, and we're thrilled to expand this to our Canadian market. By integrating this flexible payment solution, our Beauty Advisors can provide curated beauty recommendations and complete contactless transactions easily with only an iPhone — wherever they are in the store."
