Apple Pay gains 27 more US card issuers including PNC's Global Investment Servicing
Apple on Friday added another 27 names to the list of U.S. card issuers supporting Apple Pay, most notably expanding support for PNC cards to the bank's Global Investment Servicing division.
Such an addition is relatively rare, as over a year out from the introduction of Apple Pay, most national or multinational banks in the U.S. are already fully signed on. Today's other new entries are mostly regional banks and credit unions, servicing small regions of the U.S. or individual cities.
Apple's expansion plans in the U.S. are now focused on picking up more merchant partners. American Apparel should gain support later this year, along with a number of other businesses including Crate & Barrel, Chick-fil-A, Cinnabon, Chili's, Domino's, JCPenney, KFC, and Starbucks.

Comments
Canadian banks are dragging their feet. You would think by now they would have figured out how to charge crazy fees for it.
Most new terminals they had to buy to move to Chip cards have it baked in
But the data they get from payment is unbeareable to many of larger ones and that's what is slowing the whole thing in the US.
So I get stares when I tell them I want to pay by credit card and then pull the phone and pay before they realize what I did. Pretty funny
