Add Express to the list of retailers now taking Apple Pay at checkout. Checks with multiple Express stores across the United States and tips from readers indicate that the fashion and clothing retailer starting accepting the iPhone and Apple Watch payment feature this week. Express joins a short list of clothing stores that formally accept Apple Pay, which already includes Bloomingdales and American Eagle. According to Apple’s website, more clothing stores such as Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie will start accepting Apple Pay soon. Earlier this month, grocery store Trader Joe’s started officially taking Apple Pay, while 30 new banks and credit unions started showing their support this morning. We also reported this morning that Tim Cook told employees in China that the company is in talks to bring the mobile payments service to the region.

Love to see this spread. Was in a CVS for the first time since Apple Pay launched today. The irony that the instore signage promoting their app have a two foot high iPhone 6 on all of them.
I love to see Merchant Growth. I am not in their demographic but my daughter definitely is.

This only makes sense if you don’t have an Express card… unless they are allowing that to be added to Passbook/ApplePay now.
