Apple adds 15 more banks and credit unions to list of Apple Pay institutions

It’s never a bad thing when a payment type gains additional support.

Per 9to5Mac, following the addition of eight additional card issuers and banks earlier this month, Apple has updated its list of supported institutions and card types to include 15 more credit unions and banks.

These new banks are listed as supporting Apple Pay as of today:

-A+ Federal Credit Union

-Amegy Bank of Texas

-America First Credit Union

-Bethpage Federal Credit Union

-California Bank & Trust

-Connex Credit Union

-Goldenwest FCU

-Huntington Bank

-KeyPoint Credit Union

-Meijer Credit Union

-National Bank of Arizona

-Nevada State Bank

-The Bank of Greene County

-Vectra Bank

-Zions First National Bank

As mentioned above, today’s update marks the second addition to Apple’s list of supported Apple Pay institutions for January. Including the 15 institutions added today, Apple Pay now supports more than 45 banks and credit unions with over 500 signed on to eventually support the mobile payment service.

While Apple Pay has been rolling out in waves across the United States since October 20th, we reported earlier this month the mobile payment service could come to Canada as soon as March while a UK launch for Apple Pay is reportedly under way for the first half of 2015.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
