据科技博客AppleInsider报道,苹果移动支付服务Apple Pay周三再获40家美国银行支持,总量接近800家。与此同时,苹果也在准备改进对商户的支持。和近几个月新增的银行合作伙伴一样,最新一批开始支持Apple Pay的银行多数是小型区域性银行,而不是全国性银行。大多数美国主要银行已经在去年年底迅速加入了支持Apple Pay的阵营。
对于苹果来说,对商户的支持一直是一个大问题。尽管苹果Apple Pay已经拥有大量合作伙伴,但是很多商户尚未开始接受Apple Pay支付,原因可能是商户需要升级他们的零售终端系统才能支持基于近场通讯(NFC)的交易。
美国比萨饼品牌达美乐将在今年年底前开始支持Apple Pay。KFC、星巴克等公司将在2016年接受苹果移动支付服务。美国零售商JCPenney目前正在测试Apple Pay支付,明年春天应该会全面支持。
