Apple Pay has received a boost in France, as two major French banks have officially announced their support for Apple’s contactless payments solution.
HSBC officially launched a dedicated support page for Apple Pay, confirming an earlier discovery by French tech news site iphon.fr.
Meanwhile, BNP Paribas made good on an announcement last month to bring Apple Paysupport to its customers by announcing the compatibility of its Visa bank card with Apple’s digital wallet on compatible Apple devices.
The two banks join 25 other financial institutions in the country that offer Apple Pay support to their customers.
Adding Your Credit or Debit Card to Apple Pay
Users can add their credit or debit card to the service by doing the following:
- iPhone users running iOS 12 can go to the Wallet app and tap the “+” icon in the upper right-hand corner to begin, and then just follow the prompts. Users of iPads with Touch ID can add a card to the service to use in apps by going into “Settings” -> “Wallet & Apple Pay” to add a card there.
- Apple Watch users will need to enter the Watch app on their iPhone, Tap on the “Wallet & Apple Pay” option, and then tap the “Add Credit or Debit Card” option.
