Apple on Tuesday added 46 more U.S. banks and credit unions to the list of Apple Pay card issuers, pushing the total to more than 425 financial institutions throughout the country.
As with a late July update, Tuesday's additions incorporate a relatively even mix of conventional banks and credit unions. Although some gaps remain, Apple Pay is now widely supported by U.S. banks, including key nationwide institutions.
Even as the platform begins to step foot outside its home borders, many large American retailers have yet to begin accepting it. Apple hopes to address some of its teething issues with this fall's iOS 9 launch, when it will begin supporting Discover cards and various store-branded cards, including loyalty and reward systems.
The full list of new banks includes:
- 1st United Services Credit Union
- Align Credit Union
- Atlantic Regional FCU
- Bank of Marin
- Bank of Oklahoma
- Central Pacific Bank
- Community & Southern Bank
- Countryside Bank

Still no TD Bank issued Target cards.
....and zero new retailers.
Nice. I really hope our Canadian banks can get with the program too.
....and zero new retailers.
Yeah, it’s all over for Apple Pay. /s

It's neither a deal breaker or an issue less than one year after its announcement. With 71 currently active and 27 coming soon (not including iOS apps), I think that's damn good for this timeframe for a world changing service, but I would like to see the adiption rate for B&M stores start to grow exponentially.
