Surfboard Payments Now Offers Tap to Pay on iPhone for Customers in Denmark to Accept Contactless Payments
Denmark — May 27, 2025 — Today, Surfboard Payments, the provider of innovative cloud-based payment solutions, now enables its customers in Denmark to seamlessly and securely accept in-person contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone.
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the CheckoutX app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.
At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect business and customer data. Apple doesn’t store card numbers on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.*
At Surfboard Payments, we’re focused on building payment solutions that are both intuitive and impactful — enabling merchants to meet their customers where they are. Launching Tap to Pay on iPhone in Denmark, a country renowned for its commitment to thoughtful design and seamless user experiences, feels particularly fitting. With just a simple download of our CheckoutX iOS app, Danish businesses can start accepting secure, contactless payments within minutes. No complex setup. No delays. Just a beautifully streamlined transaction flow, true to the Danish ethos of function meeting form.
Payments should be easy, reliable, and ready wherever the merchant is. That’s exactly what Tap to Pay on iPhone and CheckoutX delivers.

Whether it’s a concept store in central Copenhagen or a mobile setup at a local event, Danish businesses can now accept payments with confidence, speed, and elegance. It’s a tool designed not just to function—but to feel right in any retail moment."
