At the end of this 2017 we are seeing a spectacular advance in the use of Apple Pay in our country. In this case the news came yesterday afternoon from the social networks of this popular bank that must be remembered was the first to offer Apple Pay to its customers in Spain.
Now the competition with Apple Pay is fiercer and it is that more entities have joined the service before the end of the year. Obviously we speak of La Caixa as the main rival for the use of this service and that is that it has a really wide client portfolio. Before the end of the year other banks will be added to the service of Apple NFC payments.
This is the tweet in which the bank announced the launch of this new service for your VISA credit card customers:

Now all those users who are Santander customers and have an iPhone, Mac or Apple Watch will be able to use their VISA card to make payments. Furthermore, the bank itself announces that the promotions with this VISA card are still active and fully compatible with this service.
The truth is that since Apple Pay arrived about three years ago, it is becoming the most used payment method in the world, surpassing its direct competition. Security, speed and above all ease of making a payment are the greatest virtues of a service that continues to improve and establish itself among Apple users.
