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 way you describe sounds prudent, but maybe a little old fashioned, i.e. many of us in the states pay off cards monthly, but put everything possible on them, to get card rewards, especially travel miles. As long as balances are paid monthly, the rewards are free money.The vast majority of Europeans doesn't use credit cards like Americans.
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.
