Here are all the places that support Apple Pay

Apple Pay is Apple’s contactless payment service, and it’s available to the iPhone 6/6S, 6/6S Plus, iPhone SE, and the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The service, like Android Pay, requires stores to have NFC terminals at checkout so that you can simply tap your phone to make a payment.

While Apple was hardly the first with contactless payments, the company’s solution has banks, stores, and companies jumping on the bandwagon and pledging their support for Apple Pay. It seems as if new partners are joining every day, so we’ve put together this handy list of all the major partners, which we’ll update as more are added. Here are all the brands and countries that support Apple Pay.

More and more banks support Apple Pay

Apple inked deals with the four major U.S. credit and debit card providers early on: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Apple also has the support of more than 1,500 banks and credit unions in the U.S. as of December 2016. Users can even send money transfers from Apple Pay at Western Union locations.

In May 2017, Apple added 23 banks and credit unions in the United States, including Chevron Federal Credit Union and Manasquan Bank. The company typically expands support to smaller institutions in North America on a regular basis every few weeks; back in October 2016, it added Canadian Desjardins customers to the fold. The full list of United States and Canadian locations is available on Apple’s website.

In November 2016, Apple updated its list of supported Apple Pay banks to include nine newcomers in China, four in Russia, and more than 30 in Australia. Shortly after, in February 2017, Apple Pay in Russia and Switzerland picked up support for B&N Bank and boon. by Wirecard, respectively.

In October 2016, Apple Pay was made available to The Co-operative Bank and Metro Bank in the U.K. Taiwan looks to be up next for Apple Pay domination, as the four largest financial institutions in the nation appear to be preparing for the contactless payment service.

In February 2015 at the White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection, CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple Pay will support government employees’ credit cards, federal benefit cards for veterans, and social security benefit cards. According to Bloomberg, the government’s deal with Apple Pay includes the Direct Express payment network and government cards from GSA SmartPay.

“We can imagine a day the not-so-distant future when your wallet becomes a remnant of the past.”

At the summit, Cook also hinted that Apple Pay will replace every card in your wallet one day — even drivers’ licenses.

“We can imagine a day the not-so-distant future when your wallet becomes a remnant of the past,” he said. “Your passport, your driver’s license, and other important documents can be digitally stored in a way that’s safe, secure, and easy to access.”

Non-traditional banking and payment companies are also pledging support for the system. Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Square, told CBC that Square will support Apple Pay and Bitcoin payments on its newest registers. Square’s registers are widely used by artists, small indie shops, and other stores, especially in large cities. Alternative registers from First Data’s Clover and others like Poynt, already support Apple Pay.
