Apple Pay Now Supports HSBC and Over 70 Other Issuers in U.S.

Tuesday October 20, 2015 10:04 AM PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple updated its Apple Pay participating issuers list today with 75 additional banks, credit unions and financial institutions supporting the contactless payment service in the United States. Apple Pay now has over 600 participating issuers nationwide, and several more plan to support the NFC-based mobile payment service in the future.

HSBC, one of the ten largest U.S. banks, highlights the complete list of Apple Pay participating issuers. As a disclaimer, it should be noted that some smaller banks, credit unions and financial institutions listed may have already had support for the contactless payments service and are only now being reflected on Apple's website.

The full list of new Apple Pay participating issuers is ahead.

Apple Pay remains limited to the United States and United Kingdom, although Apple is committed to an international rollout of the mobile payments service in additional countries such as Canada and China in the future.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Apple is planning a November launch of Apple Pay in Canada, which was likely prematurely leaked by TD Canada Trust. Other rumored banks include BMO, CIBC, RBC and Scotiabank.

It is so sickening how long this is taking. I called my bank and they told me they weren't looking at supporting Apple Pay due to "lack of interest."

Retailers are dragging their feet on the hardware end "due to lack of interest".

Yeah, I suppose if nobody supports the damn service, it would appear consumers have a "lack of interest". How are consumers supposed to show interest if it's impossible?!

You will be even more disappointed once your bank accepts it and you find out that none of the stores you shop in accept Apple pay.....

Impressive, but we still need more retailers on board. My expectations were set fairly low and even I'm surprised by the lack of support over a year later.

Gotta admit, Samsung has a really nice thing going with Samsung Pay.


Because of Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST)? That seems neat and would have been useful a decade ago, but even with US banks switching to chip cards, will it even work for long?

Exactly! We're so close now, but until Apple actually starts serving an IP for applepay.ca or has something at apple.ca/apple-pay I don't know how close we actually are.

I'm guessing even with banks switching to chip cards retailers will still swipe them. I've had a chip card for awhile now, and it works great when I'm traveling, but any time I've tried to use the chip in the US, even when the retailer says it should work, the chip doesn't work and I have to swipe it.
