While Apple Pay's international expansion continues to be slower than both Apple and Apple users would like, the Cupertino-based company appears to have no problem in the United States, where virtually every week adds a large number of banks and credit institutions to the list of institutions compatible with Apple Pay.
The guys from Cupertino have just updated the gigantic list showing the American institutions that are compatible with Apple Pay, adding 30 new banks and credit institutions. As on previous occasions, most of the new banks and credit institutions are small in size and work mainly for small groups of the population.
The listing of new banks and credit institutions compatible with Apple Pay in the United States is as follows:
- Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union
- Citizens Community Federal NA
- Citizens National Bank of Park Rapids
- Commercial Savings Bank
- Corydon State Bank
- Dietrich Bank
- Equity Bank
- First Alliance Bank
- First Community Bank (MT)
- First National Bank of Bellville
- First United Bank & Trust
- First Bank

The latest novelty related to Apple Pay that the guys from Cupertino presented in the last Keynote shows us how with the arrival of iOS 11 it will be possible send payments through Apple Pay to our friends with the Messages app, a feature that has become one of the most popular and is currently available with third-party applications.
