By now they must have nearly every bank in the universe. But what they need to add is more retailers!

One of my credit union's are still not support and neither are others in the area. So no, not every bank is supported with ApplePay. There's only one credit union/bank in my area that supports Apple Pay.

1) If they're still adding banks then there are clearly more banks to be added.

2) There are probably 200 countries that still don't have any Apple Pay support.

3) More retailers are needed for a tipping point to be achieved where we go from being surprised that a business supports *Pay to being surprised that a business doesn't support *Pay, but that was always going to come after the financial institution support (at least in the US—in Europe, for example, it's mostly waiting for financial institutions and Apple to ink deals).

4) If I recall correctly, earlier this year it was reported that over 50% of businesses support *Pay. That's a faster adoption rate than I expected for this service. Remember that this is a radical change that requires many disparate parts to be onboard, as well as a cultural change. I think it's moving along nicely.(*Pay refers to Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, as well as every other service that uses the bank-centralized system for secure payments via CE.)

If we could only get the damn SOB people to stop writing checks at the checkout. I cannot friggin'stand waiting in line while someone writes a check to pay for their stuff. And then of course, they have to try and balance their god damn checkbook right then and there and god forbid they have the check pre-written (minus the amount), or hell, even their checkbook out ahead of time.
