With the 1,000 card issuer mark passed more than a month ago, Apple Pay's expansion is still in high gear. On Tuesday, Apple counted over 50 more banks that support its virtual wallet platform.
The addition of the latest batch of banks comes just a day after Apple announced that Apple Pay had expanded into a sixth country, Singapore. The island nation joined the US, China, Canada, the UK and Australia in supporting Apple Pay.
A few weeks before bringing Singapore aboard, Apple Pay finally gained the support of all of the UK's major banks when Barclays got on board.
While Apple Pay has been expanding, it has been having trouble converting consumers into regular users of the platform. Though an increasing number of iOS users have been using Apple Pay — about 23 percent of them, PYMNTS found that repeat use has been declining.
About 21 percent of the users PYMNTS surveyed indicated that they forgot to use Apple Pay, about a third of eligible consumers indicated that they either like something else better or weren't impressed enough to use it again.
Consumer loyalty may be an issue for Apple Pay, but recruiting more banking partners doesn't appear to be a problem. Here's the list of banks that just started supporting Apple Pay (thanks 9to5Mac):
