Walmart to enable Apple Pay and Google Pay via tap-to-pay starting August 24

Walmart will begin letting customers pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay at select Walmart and Sam’s Club locations starting August 24, 2026, with broader rollout to all U.S. stores by the end of the year and gas stations by mid-2027. The move ends Walmart’s long absence from NFC payments, which followed earlier attempts like Walmart Pay and the CurrentC saga, as the company says Tap to Pay will give customers more payment options.

Think Before You Tap: Simple Steps to Foil Tap-to-Pay Scams

Tap-to-pay scams are on the rise, with cases like a Michigan donation that turned into a $1,000 charge. To avoid losses, read the screen before paying, verify the amount and recipient, watch for hidden fees, slow down, keep the device in your own hands, and walk away if anything feels off. Consider turning off tap-to-pay when not in use, use credit cards for stronger protections, and request receipts to verify donations.

Tap-to-pay fraud fuels cross-border gift-card crime, police warn

Chinese-organized crime rings are using stolen credit cards with tap-to-pay to buy gift cards at retailers, then laundering the value or reselling high-value goods abroad; the schemes span multiple stores, rely on digital wallets and app exploits, and are aided by social engineering and online marketplaces. Law enforcement’s Project Red Hook and a pending Combating Organized Retail Crime Act aim to tighten information sharing and curb these digital retail crimes.

NFC Forum unveils roadmap for faster, more powerful and contactless technology.

The NFC Forum, which standardizes NFC technology, is planning to improve the communication range of NFC from 5mm to 30mm, increase wireless charging power from 1W to 3W, and add a "multi-purpose tap" that could perform several actions in one tap. These changes will make point-of-sale transactions easier and allow for wireless charging of smaller devices like earbuds. The NFC Forum will present its development roadmap during a public webinar on June 27th.
