The European Union antitrust regulators said on Thursday that Apple will open its tap-and-go mobile payments system to rivals. The company has faced three investigations under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires Big Tech to ensure a level playing field for rivals and give users more choice. Apple’s tap-and-go technology called near-field communication, or NFC, allows for contactless payments with mobile wallets. It will now allow developers to access its NFC to pre-build payment apps for rival mobile vallet providers.
