Apple Pay is storming the USA

Apple, Tech News,

“Apple Pay launch partner Bank of America on Thursday revealed that nearly 800,000 of its customers had signed up for Apple’s nascent mobile payments initiative, bringing 1.1 million cards to the service in the last three months. Bank of America has 60 million customers.”

This is just one financial institution sharing its success of Apple Pay. What is even more important is that these 1.1m Apple Pay users are more than likely ones that spend money too. Impressive stats.
