Direct peer-to-peer transfers are not supported, but you can still use Apple Pay for international purchases from compatible merchants. However, if you require a dedicated service for sending money across borders, it is advisable to explore alternative options such as online payment services, peer-to-peer payment apps, or traditional bank transfers. Assess the fees, speed, security, and convenience of each method to make an informed decision based on your specific needs.
