Visa announced that it will support Chinese-issued Visa cards on Apple Pay for use at overseas Visa-accepting merchants, enabling in-store, in-app and online payments outside mainland China.

The service allows cardholders to add eligible Visa cards from participating Chinese banks to Apple Pay.

Visa said 79% of global in-person transactions are now made using contactless NFC payments.

Yin Xiaolong, General Manager at Visa Mainland China, said:

The first group of issuing banks supporting the service includes Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of Communications, China Merchants Bank, China CITIC Bank, Ping An Bank and Industrial Bank.

Visa and Apple said they are working with additional banks. These include Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, China Construction Bank, China Minsheng Bank and China Everbright Bank. Further rollouts are planned.

For in-store payments overseas, Apple Pay uses device-based authentication such as Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode. Transactions use a one-time dynamic security code that the system sends to the issuing bank for authorisation.

Users can also make payments in overseas mobile apps and on websites with Apple Pay without manually entering card or shipping details.

When users add a Visa card to Apple Pay, Apple does not store the card number on the device or on its servers.

Cardholders can add their Visa cards through the Apple Wallet app or via their bank’s app. Existing card rewards and benefits remain unchanged.

Visa said additional offers related to overseas travel and spending are available through its V Select WeChat Mini Program.

DeFi Platform Operating on BNB Chain Attacked by Hackers! How Much Lost? Here Are the Details

The post DeFi Platform Operating on BNB Chain Attacked by Hackers! How Much Lost? Here Are the Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. New Gold Protocol (NGP), a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform operating on BNB Chain, was hit with a $2 million attack on Wednesday. The attack targeted the protocol’s liquidity pool, resulting in significant losses. NGP Protocol on BNB Chain Loses $2 Million Web3 security firm Blockaid explained that the attack was based on price oracle manipulation. The attacker targeted the getPrice function in the NGP smart contract. This function calculates the token price by directly referencing Uniswap V2 pool reserves. However, according to Blockaid, “the instant price from a single DEX pool is not secure because attackers can easily manipulate reserves with a flash loan.” The attacker executed a large swap using a flash loan for a large amount of tokens. This increased the pool’s USDT reserves, decreased the NGP reserves, and caused the price oracle to report an artificially low value. This manipulation allowed the contract’s transaction limit to be exceeded, allowing the attacker to acquire a large amount of NGP tokens at a low price. On-chain security firm PeckShield reported that the stolen funds were transferred through Tornado Cash. The NGP token price also plummeted by 88% following the attack. This incident is the latest in a series of attacks targeting DeFi protocols. Last week, the Sui-based Nemo Protocol suffered a similar $2.6 million loss. According to Chainalysis data, more than $2 billion was stolen from crypto services in the first half of 2025 alone. This figure is higher than the same period in previous years, indicating increasing security risks in the sector. *This is not investment advice.
