Apple on Tuesday added 54 more banks and credit unions to the list of U.S. Apple Pay issuers, putting the total over 650 as the company prepares to expand to Canada and Australia.
The latest additions cover a wide number of states, such Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Washington, and Massachusetts. Unlike some recent updates, which added firms like HSBC and Scottrade, there don't appear to be any major national chains in the mix.
Through a partnership with American Express, Apple Pay will be coming to Australia and Canada by the end of the year. Some rumors have put a Canadian expansion as soon as this month.
In 2016, the service will gradually expand to Spain, Singapore, and Hong Kong. At the moment the only countries with Apple Pay are the U.S. and the U.K., the latter of which only received it in July.

Come on, TD Canada, get this going. I've been waiting for a year now to start using Apple Pay.
Any chance to get Apple Pay at all in the EU, particularly in Germany??? Maybe by the end of this century?
We need merchants to accept this. Right now in my universe only McDonald's, Panera and Amazon accept payment.
Bank of the West and Fidelity where the hell are you? Fire your dumbass legal team, marketing team and or IT heads and get some competent people in charge!
So what? Samsung Pay is the most accepted mobile payment, at least that is what they claim in this ad. Why would they lie? /s
