New Zealanders can now make contactless payments entirely on iPhones. 

Any retailer with a supported iPhone can accept payments from cards or digital wallets. 

It's paid via an app from one of Apple's payments service partners including Worldline, Windcave, and ANZ. 

Ben Hanna, Head of New Zealand at Stripe, told Mike Hosking that it cuts down on the costs of running a traditional Eftpos machine. 

He says it cuts down on hardware costs, deployment time, and administration.
