On the retailer front, earlier this week we reported American Apparel will begin accepting Apple Pay at their checkout counters in the near future, joining a long a list of U.S. retailers and restaurants that have either begun accepting, or have announced that they will soon accept, Apple’s touchless payments system, including: Crate & Barrel, Chick-fil-A, Au Bon Pain, Cinnabon, Chili’s, Domino’s, KFC, and Starbucks.
Apple Pay’s recent expansion to China brings the number of retail locations to 2 million, located in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and China.
Apple is scheduled to launch Apple Pay in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Spain this year in partnership with American Express. Earlier this week, it was leaked that MasterCard plans to support the payments system in Canada, Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore in 2016.
