CMA consultation on steering and NFC access for Apple and Google mobile platforms
Tuesday 28th July, 2026
The UK CMA is consulting on rules forcing Apple and Google to allow app developers to steer users to off‑platform payment options and grant third‑party access to device NFC functionality.
This gives Wise a chance to be part of the conversation on fair access to mobile payments and NFC in the UK, highlighting its role in low‑cost cross‑border payments and alternative payment flows.
Why have we flagged this?
Direct and high-profile regulatory moment that affects how consumers pay on mobile devices; Wise can authoritatively argue for open steering and NFC access to enable cheaper cross-border and in‑app payments and lead the conversation with data and policy proposals.
