Apple Pay comes to 26 more US banks & credit unions

On top of reaching Italy, Apple Pay is now available through 26 more U.S. financial institutions, as well as a single extra card issuer in China.

Continuing trends, most of the U.S. additions are highly localized —such as the Red River Credit Union, which only operates branches in northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas. National banks were typically signed up within months of Apple Pay's Oct. 2014 launch, and since then hundreds of regional institutions have joined.

The one new Chinese issuer is Liaoning Rural Credit Cooperatives, though the country already has dozens of others onboard. Apple Pay first arrived in China in Feb. 2016.

The full list of U.S. additions includes:

Blackhawk Bank & Trust
Capital Community Bank
Central Bank of IA
Chemical Bank
Columbia Bank [now NJ and OR]
Commercial State Bank
County Credit Union
El Paso Area Teachers Federal Credit Union
Finger Lakes Federal Credit Union
First Colony Bank of Florida
First National Bank of Picayune
Minnequa Works Credit Union
North Island Financial Credit Union
Peoples Bank of the South
Peoples Savings Bank
Prime Financial Credit Union
Red River Credit Union
San Juan Credit Union
Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union
Texas Citizens Bank
Town and Country and Peoples Prosperity Bank
Tradition Capital Bank
UNCLE Credit Union
Unitus Community Credit Union
Voyage Federal Credit Union
Wasatch Peaks Credit Union


The Italian launch is being backed by just three institutions, namely Boon, Carrefour, and UniCredit. It does however put Apple Pay in 16 markets worldwide, with Germany perhaps being next on the slate.
