Apple Pay Now Supports Tesco Bank and TSB in U.K., Over 90 New U.S. Issuers

by

Apple updated its Apple Pay participating issuers list today with 95 additional banks, credit unions and financial institutions supporting the contactless payment service in the United States. Apple Pay now has over 750 participating issuers nationwide, and several more plan to support the NFC-based mobile payment service in the future.

Apple Pay now supports Tesco Bank and TSB in the United Kingdom

Apple also added Apple Pay support for two larger financial institutions Tesco Bank and TSB in the United Kingdom. Tesco Bank, which began emailing customers about incoming Apple Pay support earlier this week, currently supports Apple Pay for its MasterCard credit cards, while TSB supports debit cards and MasterCard and AMEX credit cards.

H&R Block, a large tax planning, preparation, and filing company, highlights the complete list of new Apple Pay participating U.S. issuers. As a disclaimer, some smaller banks, credit unions and financial institutions listed may have already had support for the contactless payments service and are only now being reflected on Apple's website.

The full list of new Apple Pay participating issuers in the U.S. is ahead.

Apple Says UK App Store Steering Rules Would Be 'Highly Intrusive'

Wednesday July 29, 2026 3:43 pm PDT by

Apple submitted feedback to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority as it considers forcing Apple to change its App Store rules around steering.

I think that the dam is breaking. I know that they got the big ones early on, but now the updates have 40+ US banks at each one.

This is a good thing.

A very good thing.

TSB at last! Happy days :-)

TSB also paying out 5% cashback for using Apple Pay on their credit cards.

"Get 5% cashback on your first £100 of Apple Pay spend each month using your existing TSB MasterCard or AMEX credit card, until December 2016 (subject to eligibility)"

That could be up to £5 each month which is better than nothing -

Just waiting for the Tesco stores (excluding a few in London) to support NFC payments.
It kills me seeing the grayed out contactless button every time I use self service.

P.S. Weren't US retailers supposed to support Chip [and PIN] by this October (at least the Chip part!) or else assume a bunch of liability? What ever happened with that? I don't think I saw single store, small or large, gain new terminals this fall. Retailers don't need to "support Apple Pay" specifically, they just need modern terminals! I though Chip [and PIN] would cause a wave of upgrades, and NFC (including Apple Pay) would come along for the ride. Did the deadline extend again, or something?
I have a small amount of insight here in to a large nation-wide company that has chosen not to move forward with replacing their readers to be chip and pin compliant for the next year...

It's more expensive to replace the equipment across the organization than it is to eat the charge backs.

So it's an expense they're planning for in 2017 or so.

Plans change, of course, but I imagine a lot of large organizations are facing a similar decision.

The next post explains why:

More banks support it than Apple even lists, too: my bank is a medium-size chain across several states, and supports ApplePay, but has never been listed by Apple—because they don't directly issue their own credit cards. The card has their name and logo, I signed up in their branch, and the bill comes from them—but the fine print shows they are partnering with another bank to operate the card--one that is listed by Apple. (But listed with the name a little different—probably parent company vs. subsidiary, or something, but that's further confusion to make you think your bank isn't listed.)
This is especially true for credit unions: they outsource credit cards to a partner. Once the partner supports Apple Pay, all of their partners will be able to do so.

No, it wasn't extended. The merchants are assuming liability for fraudulent use. I'm starting to see more chip readers in use: my local Lowe's store just started requiring me to insert my card, even though they have had the terminals for months. I'm seeing this in a lot of places: even though they HAVE terminals with chip readers, they aren't necessarily using them.

Other merchants have point-of-sale systems with an integrated mag-stripe reader, and I think they were caught napping. They can't just easily swap out a terminal. It may even be a supplier problem: they can't get an updated terminal because they can't be manufactured quickly.

Finally, the merchant's transaction processor may be assuming liability. An example is Square:

https://squareup.com/emv-liability-shift

Square doesn't yet ship an EMV chip reader, but you can reserve one now. If you do so, you can use their mag-stripe reader, and Square will cover liability for any fraud. But, you have to reserve their EMV chip reader to get that protection.


Do I no now longer have the fraud protection of the big, stable credit card company to protect me? Just curious—my credit card # gets somehow stolen pretty much once a year...)
No, the liability shift is to the merchant -- not to you. Your agreement with the credit card issue has not changed.
