People with the latest iPhones and iPads can add credit and debit cards from participating banks and then use their phones to make a purchase at retailers that accept Apple Pay.
Wells Fargo and Bank of America gave customers access to Apple Pay on Oct. 20.
"As our customers live their increasingly digital lives, we continue to evaluate new innovative technologies, prioritizing payment safety, quality of service and ease of use for our customers," said Jim Smith, head of virtual channels for Wells Fargo, in a press release. "Apple Pay is a strong offering in those areas, and we look forward to giving customers another way to manage their money where they are. For many, that's on a mobile device."
Apple Pay was one way Bank of America could give customers simple ways to pay for everyday things, said Thong Nguyen, the company's president of retail banking, in a press release.
In early November, M&T Bank added the feature for debit and credit cards. Susquehanna Bank and Tompkins VIST both added credit cards to Apple Pay and both have plans to expand to debit cards next year.
Customers Bank expects to be connected to Apple Pay on Nov. 24.
Several other banks are planning to make Apple Pay available to customers, but don't have the exact date. These include Citizens Bank, First National Bank, First Priority and Niagara Bank.
Other banks, such as Fulton Bank, Metro Bank, National Penn, Royal Bank America and Woodforest National Bank, are exploring joining Apple Pay.
