Apple Pay Apple Watch 16-9

After a quiet period between the last set of new banks and iOS 9’s public release, Apple has updated its list of Apple Pay participating banks to include more than two dozen more additions. If you bank with one of these banks or credit unions, you should now be able to setup Apple Pay in your Wallet app for use on supported iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watch:

Advia Credit Union
AIM Bank
Alma Bank
American Bank & Trust Company
Armstrong Bank

Radius Bank
Republic Bank & Trust
Scottrade
Sharefax Credit Union

Sussex County Federal Credit Union
The First National Bank in Sioux Falls

The new banks join the hundreds of already-participating institutions across the United States and the United Kingdom. Starting with the recently released iOS 9 update for iPhone and iPad and watchOS 2 update for Apple Watch, Apple Pay now supports credit cards from Discover as well as retail-issued and reward cards for the first time. Apple’s Passbook app picked up a new icon and name, Wallet, to reflect its focus toward Apple Pay.

Apple also recently announced that its mobile payment system will soon be accepted at Starbucks (in-stores), KFC, and Chili’s. Best Buy recently turned on support across its stores just in time for the holiday shopping season.
