Southwest Airlines will join the roster of merchants that accept Apple Pay, according to an announcement Wednesday from CellPoint Digital and UATP.
UATP, the airline-owned payment network, and CellPoint Digital, a travel industry payments specialist, said Dallas-based Southwest will make Apple Pay available across all channels to buy tickets and services. UATP and CellPoint Digital formed a partnership in 2018 to offer UATP’s member airlines payment services.
This is the first airline to come onboard via the UATP and CellPoint Digital partnership, the companies say.
