The guys from Cupertino continue to expand their Apple Pay electronic payment technology, but in the form of new banks and credit institutions, since at the moment it seems that the expansion of Apple Pay to other countries has ended after landing in Spain in early December. Apple has just updated the list of applications from banks and credit institutions that are already supported in China, so they are currently 58 institutions that allow payments through Apple Pay together with the iPhone or Apple Watch.
New credit institutions and banks compatible with Apple Pay in China
- Bank Of HeBei
- Chengdu Rural Commercial Bank
- China Minsheng Banking Corporation

If you plan to change your country of residence and want to take a look at all the compatible banks around the world with this technology, you can pay for the Apple Pay support page, where you will find all the banks and countries where Apple Pay is currently operating. Currently this payment technology, which arrived two years ago with the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, is available at Australia (with many problems with banks), China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, France, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.
At the moment Japan is the only country where Apple is offering preferential treatment to citizens, since thanks to one of the latest iOS updates, It is possible to use the NFC FeliCa card throughout the country to make payments on public transport or small purchases in stores. Sony's FeliCa system is the most widespread form of digital payment in the whole country, something difficult to find in any other country, hence Apple has only bothered to adapt its NFC chip to Japan exclusively.
