Apple Pay's US roster adds 35 new banks, approaches total of 400

By Roger Fingas

Apple on Thursday added another 35 companies to the list of U.S. banks supporting Apple Pay, this time offering a more even split of credit unions and conventional banks.

Many past roster updates have skewed towards credit unions. With the latest Apple Pay now has close to 400 U.S. financial partners, and the number of U.K. partners should grow beyond a handful within coming weeks and months.

The full list of new U.S. institutions includes:

Apple Pay launched in the U.K. earlier this month with firms such as NatWest, Santander, and Ulster Bank in tow, but missing key entities like Halifax, Barclays, and HSBC, which have only promised support. Apple has also yet to define which countries the service might expand to next, although rumors have pointed to a Canadian debut in November.
