Canadian banks Tangerine and President's Choice Financial on Tuesday added support for Apple Pay, while residents of Greece finally received access to live traffic data in Apple Maps.
Customers of Tangerine -- a Scotiabank subsidiary -- can now attach their Money-Back MasterCard to Apple Pay. Verification is being handled through the company's newly-updated iOS app.
President's Choice Financial, associated with national grocery chain Loblaws, is also supporting its MasterCards on Apple Pay. The company warns, though, that PC Plus members looking to earn PC points when shopping must currently tap or scan some other device or barcode first.
The new Greek traffic means that drivers can see which routes are congested when getting directions in Maps, and choose an alternate route if necessary. Apple's live traffic coverage currently extends to almost 40 markets, making it better-supported than public transit directions or iOS's "Nearby" feature.
