It seems that at the moment the expansion of Apple Pay is continuing, although at a much slower rate than desired. Since arriving in Spain last December, úOnly Ireland and Taiwan have been able to launch this new form of payments among iPhone users. While the Cupertino boys continue to fight in Australia so that the country's banks stop insisting on trying to convince Apple to give them access to the NFC chip. Apple Pay is currently available in 15 countries.
In all those countries we can count on the fingers of one hand the banks that have received Apple Pay with open hands. However, in the United States, more and more countries are offering compatibility with this technology. As we can see in the latest list that Apple has updated on its website, Apple Pay has expanded the number of banks and credit institutions compatible with Apple Pay by more than twenty. But it has not been the only country where the number of banks compatible with this technology has increased, since Russia has also expanded this number with two new banks: AK BARS Bank and Gazprombank.
The list of new US banks that are already compatible with Apple Pay is as follows:
- Bank of Grove
- Boulder Dam Credit Union
- Boundary Waters Bank
- Community 1st Credit Union
- Decorah Bank & Trust
- First State Bank of the Florida Keys
- First Light Federal Credit Union
- Great Lakes First Federal Credit Union
- Heritage bank
- Maquoketa State Bank
- McFarland State Bank
- One West Bank
- Oxford University Bank
- Peoples Bank (MS)
- Pioneer Federal Credit Union
- Rheinbeck Bank
- River Valley Credit Union (MI)
- River Valley Credit Union (OH)
- Royal Bank
- South Central Bank
- The Infirmary Federal Credit Union
- Unison Credit Union
As on previous occasions, most of these banks are regional, thus expanding the number of possible users who can already enjoy Apple Pay in the country, a country where this form of payment is already found in almost 40% of the countries. shops of the country.
