Since its U.S. launch in 2014, Apple Pay has been introduced to iOS device users in Australia, Canada, China, Singapore and the UK.

Apple at WWDC 2016 announced a major initiative that will bring Apple Pay transactions to the web, a highly anticipated feature that puts the in-house payments service in competition with industry leader PayPal. The company also revealed plans for upcoming rollouts in France, Hong Kong and Switzerland.

Most recently, Bank of America began rolling out support for cardless ATM withdrawals at select locations in California.
