Apple Pay adds over 30 more banks across the U.S.

Square Apple Pay

With Apple Pay continuing its ongoing rollout across U.S. banks and credit unions, Apple’s mobile payment service has added over 30 new partners. Here is the full list of new Apple Pay banks:

Anderson Brothers Bank, Bank & Trust Company, Bank of Labor, Bank of Yazoo, BankWest, Brown County State Bank, Busey Bank, Campbell & Fetter Bank, Central Bank of Oklahoma, Collinsville Savings Society, Core Bank, Covantage Credit Union, Diversified Members Credit Union, Farmington Bank, Florida Parishes Bank, Fort Worth Community Credit Union, Great Midwest Bank, Horizon Bank (not Horizon Bank, N.A.), Litchfield Bancorp, Luther Burbank Savings, Mississippi National Guard Federal Credit Union, Oregon Community Credit Union, Pathfinder Bank, Platinum Federal Credit Union, Qualstar Credit Union, Red River Bank, Seven Seventeen Credit Union, T Bank, The Citizens Bank, Titonka Savings Bank, US Employees O.C. Federal Credit Union and Wallis State Bank.

In addition to the latest banks that now let card holders add debit and credit cards to Apple Pay, we learned earlier this week that Apple Pay is now accepted at over 2 million locations. And last month Apple CEO Tim Cook said that in countries where the service is available (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia) there are over 5 million contactless payment-ready terminals.

We also learned that food chain Chick-Fil-A plans to rollout Apple Pay at all of its stores. Crate & Barrel and Au Bon Pain are also new Apple Pay locations, and Zappos is adding the payment method to its app for iPhone and iPad.

Local cafes, bakeries, and festivals can also accept Apple Pay much easier now with Square bringing its $49 Apple Pay reader to Apple Stores. The device lets anyone accept payments from Apple Pay-ready iPhones and Apple Watches.

We’re also looking forward to the possibility of Apple Pay cash withdrawals at ATMs this year, and Apple is rumored to be working on a peer-to-peer payment feature for Apple Pay users as well. And just yesterday, I detailed my experience with Apple Pay from year one as well as highlighting some progress I’d like to see in year two.

    Curious how much profit Apple has made and is making from these deals with individual banks. I hate Apple’s model of negotiating with banks individuals for the transaction fee %.I hope they don’t do the same in every country they give Apple Pay.

    Apple should made a deal with either the credit networks(Maestro,MasterCard,Visa etc) or the credit card processors.NFC credit cards didn’t work this way. Apple’s approach has greatly slowed Apple Pay’s roll and it also confusers consumers and merchants.

      You’re actually mistaken with this. Apple Pay’s fees come from a cut of the fees that Visa And MasterCard normally receive. There are no additional fees charge to the bank. What ever amount normally goes to Visa And MasterCard they have agreed to give Apple .15 percent of the fees that they would normally receive on the premise that the transactions are more secure since the transaction has to be authenticated with a fingerprint or pin.
      Their approach hasn’t slowed out the roll out one bit. Due to them having over 100 banks on board. Android pay is the opposite does not get a cut of Visa and MasterCard’s fees but still has barely any banks involved. The main hindrance right now is adoption from consumer( fear) and also Walmart and Target not accepting apple pay in the store. People were raving about low Apple Pay usage rates over the holiday but let’s be realy a good percent of purchases for the Holidays were coming from Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

    How many freaking banks are there in the US??? This is at least the tenth time Apple adds another tens of US banks.

    • Jason Corbine - 8 years ago

      In case you hadn’t noticed a map or globe the US is a very very large place. We have probably thousands of banks and credit unions. Some are large national banks where you’ll find branches in most cities and in every state. Some are smaller local banks that may only have a couple of branches in one town or area. It’s a big place.

    What is that flat white thing in the first picture? Is that for point of sale so businesses can accept Apple Pay? Who makes it?

    I just bought an iPhone 6S two days ago, and being very into technology, I already knew how to use Apple Pay. However, I am very impressed with how easily it is to set up as well as use in locations. As a side note, I am also a really big germaphobe (I know, I’m weird), therefore I REALLY enjoy the contactless terminals rather than having to touch my phone to a pad that other people’s phones have touched.

    Yet we still can’t use it just a bit to the North!

  6. Still no Bank of the West. Must be the largest bank to still not be aboard.

    Does anyone know who BankWest is? I’ve tried looking for them but all I get is one from Australia

    Still limited in Canada as its only connected to Amex at the moment. I use it every day at Tim Hortons since I go there every day 😌😀 and a small 3 outlet coffee shop I go to regularly as well. It’s available at some fat food places but I don’t go there. I do once in a while go to London Drugs and Canadian Tire. Funny story is I wanted to pay for something at the Apple Store and the guy had not seen a customer do that by that point.
