Amex Holders First To Use Apple Pay In Australia

As reported  by the tech blog 9to5Mac, Apple has just announced that its mobile payments service, Apple Pay, will be available to American Express users in Australia and Canada in 2015 and Spain, Singapore and Hong Kong in 2016.

Apple chief Tim Cook said that Apple Pay would be made available only to “eligible American Express customers in these regions”, represent a reduced roll out compared with users in the UK or the US.  The Australian deployment will bring the total number of Apple Pay markets to four.

Apple Pay’s mobile payment and digital wallet offering allows users to make payments with their iOS devices, including Apple Watch. At its US launch Apple said more than 1 million credit cards had been registered on Apple Pay in its first three days of availability.
