Apple Payis theremobile payment solution from Apple, launched in 2014. In summary, it allowspay for an in-store purchase using your iPhone or Apple Watch, and on the internet, at partner merchants. To do this, however, you must have a bank card provided by a compatible bank. And in France, compared to other European countries, such as the United Kingdom, the number of banks compatible with Apple's payment solution has been slow to take off. However, the deployment has been gradual. And over the past 6 years and the arrival of the solution on the market, many banks have been added to the list. Some are still awaited for future compatibility, sometimes already announced.
In any case, to follow the evolution of banks and banking services available in France supporting Apple Pay, but tofind out if you can use the contactless payment solution with the bank card provided by your bank, here is our regularly updated Apple Pay compatibility list.
