Apple Pay use in the UK 2024

Apple Pay adoption for in-store payments in the United Kingdom was higher in 2024 than it was in early 2020, signaling a growing use among consumers. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to the share of respondents who indicated they used Apple Pay in the past 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. Six out of 10 respondents from the UK indicated they had used Apple Pay in a POS setting between July 2023 and June 2024 — with an additional four out of 10 saying they used Apple Pay during this same time for online payments.

Some countries in Statista's Global Consumer Survey are part of an extended questionnaire. More information on the methodology can be found here.

For countries/territories receiving the extended questionnaire the Global Consumer Survey utilizes a rolling survey system with four survey waves per year: The most recent data set contains the interviews of the last 12 months. This ensures trend stability and a higher number of interviews available for analysis, allowing you to adequately analyze smaller target groups, media and brands.
