Apple Pay Is Expanding
28 October 2015
“Apple Pay will be available to eligible American Express customers in Canada and Australia later this year, and access will expand to Spain, Singapore, and Hong Kong beginning in 2016.”
Partnering with AMEX is strange as they don’t issue debit cards and are way behind Visa and Mastercard in terms of customer volume. I’m also guessing that this rollout only applies to AMEX cards issued directly instead of through a bank–though I could be wrong–all of which limits the scope of this rollout considerably.
