Apple on Tuesday updated the list of U.S. Apple Pay card issuers with 58 more financial institutions, putting the company over the 900 mark and within sight of hitting 1,000 later this year.
The expanded list includes a mix conventional banks and credit unions, as has become standard for Apple. There don't appear to be any major additions, with most of the new entries being highly localized.
The bulk of Apple Pay expansion efforts remain focused on the U.S., even with the service also present in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It will come to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Spain later this year however, as well as mainland China thanks to a deal with China UnionPay.

- Air Academy Federal Credit Union

Ah... THAT explains why the stock keeps plummeting! /s
And how many new retailers? Oh zero? Gotcha.
The reach of Apple Pay makes no difference with 3 banks or 1000. Until POS terminals accept Apple Pay everywhere that they accept the cards...its still a niche feature with no momentum.
1,000 in the USA, virtually none anywhere else.
So successful! :)
And we get treated to a new tech "article" on every major Apple related site every single time a bank or a card is added to the list (as if this is really news).
