Apple Pay is now working with cards from HCBC France and BNP Paribas. The two banks join the 25 card issuers already supporting Apple’s mobile wallet service in France …
The move follows the addition of bunq and Crédit du Nord in December of last year.
Neither HSBC nor BNP are yet listed on Apple’s website, but both banks had announced that support was coming soon, and iPhon.fr reports that cards from both banks can be added as of this morning.
Other cards which can be used with Apple Pay in France are:
- American Express
- Apetiz (Visa)
- Arkéa Banque Privée

- Banque de Savoie
- Banque Populaire (Visa cards)

Monese Apple Pay support
Monese has also announced that its cards now support Apple Pay in seven countries: UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Finland and Ireland.
The international rollout of Apple Pay continues at a somewhat leisurely pace, with the company’s peer-to-peer payment service Apple Pay Cash following slowly behind.
You can also set up your card straight from the Wallet app, by tapping the + icon and following the instructions.
Retailers and other companies also continue to join, Target one recent addition, while LA Metro has promised TAP support later in the year.
Thanks, Shaun
