Apple Pay will welcome 5 new banks with open arms in the coming months

The implantation of paid credit card on our phones is being accepted with great enthusiasm. Currently, there is not a day that any of us don't pay this way or see other people do it. However, banks and entities they are taking time to adapt to this new mode of payment.

Apple Pay is one of the most used services to make payments without removing credit cards from our wallets. Bring our iOS device, an identification and, voila! We are in luck if you are from the bank Mediolanum, Pichincha, Cajamar, Laboral Kutxa or Pibank. Why? Because these five banks will soon become compatible with the Apple Pay payment system.

5 new banks make their systems compatible to add them to Apple Pay

For those users who are lagging behind or who are unaware of the existence of Apple Pay, a brief context is necessary to understand this news. Apple Pay is a mobile payment service created by Apple through which we can add credit cards or bank accounts (of certain entities) associated with our device. When we go to make a payment, we can pay without taking out the card directly from any iOS device.

Throughout these months we have seen how different banks and large companies were updating their infrastructure to receive the arrival of Apple Pay, which has been with us for almost 5 years. Since then, 22 financial entities are compatible with Apple Pay in Spanish territory. But in the coming months this number will rise to 27 since these 5 banks will receive Apple's payment system:

• Mediolanum
• Pichincha
• Cajamar
• Kutxa Laboral
• pibank

Although it is good news, we still have no news from large banks such as Ibercaja, Unicaja, ING or Liberbank. With the passage of time we are sure that they will be compatible with Apple Pay, in the meantime we can only wait.
