In the UK, Apple Pay is now supported by mobile-only banking app Starling Bank.

As N26 hinted Apple Pay will launch in Spain, Italy and France later this year, we should be close of seeing Apple Pay in Germany. More I‘m not allowed to tell... ;)

N26 tells its users when they ask about ApplePay in Germany that we have to contact Apple. N26 wants to introduce it for a long time already.

As N26 hinted Apple Pay will launch in Spain, Italy and France later this year, we should be close of seeing Apple Pay in Germany. More I‘m not allowed to tell... ;)

I sincerely hope that you have some real inside information and are not just getting our hopes up ;)

But I think as well that ApplePay will launch in Germany later this year too. N26 will probably launch it in Germany, France, Italy and Spain at the same time.
