When Apple Pay, the contactless payment service for iPhones and Apple Watches, launched last year it was only available to American Express customers. Apple then partnered with ANZ Bank, but the service remained largely unavailable to individuals using other financial institution. The good news is 31 banks have signed up to offer Apple Pay to their customers through one of Australia’s largest payments solutions provider Cuscal.

so the small credit unions settled? looks like most of the big banks are still fighting the fee structure.
When is this active from? I just tried one of my cards and it wouldn’t work
The banks don’t seem to have announced it yet, so I’d say it might be a while.
Millions?? With these “banks”? Are you sure? More like hundreds.
