Switzerland's largest bank UBS today announced that Apple Pay is coming soon, as noted by Macprime. The bank says that the rollout should be completed within the coming weeks.
A teaser tweet indicates that UBS will offer Apple Pay for its Visa credit cards at a minimum.
Apple Pay first launched in Switzerland in July 2016 with support for MasterCard and Visa cards issued by Bonus Card, Cornèr Bank, and Swiss Bankers.
To add a card to Apple Pay, open the Wallet app and tap the plus symbol in the top-right corner.

You’re joking right? Try 2014.When is it coming to UK?
Was. Source: Swiss working in finance.Switzerland is renowned for being an international tax haven.
Just out of a matter of interest, If the UK Apple Card has none of the benefits of US Apple Card, such as Cash Back, Lower Interest Rate. May be you only get a small amount of cash back from Apple purchase ( App Store and Apple Store ).Sorry I meant Apple Card coming to UK or is it only going to stay in America?
Would you still want one and use it?
The UBS debit cards (V-Pay or Maestro) do not have standard card numbers starting with a 4 or 5, respectively. Instead, they are linked directly to your bank account. Therefore, you cannot use them to pay online. V-Pay can do contactless, Maestro cannot. So here are UBS debit cards for you. You can get a credit card with a standard number for an extra CHF 20 per year, though.I hope not for VISA only. What about just debit cards? I don't live on credit…
And TWINT is useless.
The problem with TWINT is that you cannot link it to a business UBS account, which kind of makes it useless for many people.That, and here (Switzerland) UBS launched a competitive service (national only, called TWINT) that they've really tried hard to push for.
Yep, they call it a multi-currency account, as below:Thanks. Never took the plunge of using Revolut, and I love Trasnferwise for… transfers but didn't know their offered cards, too now!
