Apple Pay, other contactless forms of payment, reinstated at JCPenney’s locations

If you’re looking to resume using Apple Pay at JCPenney, it looks like the system’s back up.

The retailer reinstated Apple Pay as its stores on Thursday, June 19th. JCPenney has reinstated Apple Pay at its stores, it emerged Thursday. The reactivation is said to have happened on June 19th.

JCPenney stopped accepting Apple Pay and other contactless payments. It followed a deadline from Visa that asked retailers to move from magnetic stripe contactless technology to newer EMV technology. A JCPenney support employee tweeted two weeks ago that the firm expected to reinstate Apple Pay by June 19.

Given that the deadline has passed, both Apple Pay and overall contactless payment methods should be working.
