Restaurants and retailers also hoping on the bandwagon
Just yesterday, Apple announced that more than 2 million retail locations accept the payment system. And first reported by The Business Times, Chick-fil-A, Crate & Barrel, and Au Bon Pain are currently rolling out Apple Pay support.
Along with the United States, Apple Pay is available to users in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Currently, in Canada and Australia only American Express cards can be used.
Late last year, Apple announced a partnership with China UnionPay to bring Apple Pay to the country sometime early this year. Making the move into the extremely important China market should definitely help to grow the system.
Starbucks and other food establishments like KFC and Chili’s will support Apple Pay sometime in 2016. Cinnabon and Domino’s will also support the service soon.
