Operator-wide facts from Osaka Metro's own pages; individual lines and stations can differ.
Touch an IC card on the gate reader on the Osaka Metro subway and New Tram. Osaka Metro says PiTaPa, ICOCA and the cards of the nationwide interoperable IC service work at its gates; mobile ICOCA / Apple Pay ICOCA work too. The full card list (Kitaca, PASMO, Suica, manaca, TOICA, Hayakaken, nimoca, SUGOCA) comes from the PiTaPa issuer's page for the PiTaPa area, not from Osaka Metro itself. Cards other than PiTaPa must be charged in advance and need at least ¥10 on the card to ride the subway; if the balance is short when you leave, charge it at a fare adjustment machine (mobile Suica/PASMO/ICOCA: yellow machines only). One card per person; IC cards cannot be combined with paper tickets. On trips through to other companies' lines without leaving the gates, IC cards may not be usable on some routes. Contactless credit/debit/prepaid cards and phones/watches (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, UnionPay) also work at all Osaka Metro stations: see cemv. P
