This week, our colleague Nacho told how the Australian banks succumbed before Apple Pay. Banks are really delighted with this mobile technology, but they negotiate the commissions that they have to assign, in this case to the company on the block. If we continue with the same trend, between 2018 and 2019, almost all banks will have a mobile payment service. In U.S.A. just over 40 banks remain. But Apple also closes deals in Australia and Hong Kong with local banks. These are some of the latest banks on the long list of Apple Pay:

  • Advantage One Credit Union (both IL and MI now)
  • Alliance Bank (both IN and MI now)
  • Avadian Credit Union
  • Bank of the Sierra
  • Campco Federal Credit Union
  • CCB Community Bank
  • Cincinnati Interagency Federal Credit Union
  • Citizens Trust Bank

Apple Pay on the web is also expanding as an online payment method, beyond mobile devices, and will soon be accepted by Comcast as well, so further growth is expected in the immediate future

Apple Pay presents these figures:

  • The mobile payment service is available in 20 countries, which represents 70% of the volume of card payments worldwide.
  • Apple Pay works with 4.000 card issuers
  • 50% of US retailers accept Apple Pay
  • Has ticket cards (i.e. Wallet passes)
  • Apple Pay accounts for 90% of mobile transactions.

Now we only ask it to expand in other areas, such as Spain, in a more agile way.
