Apple Pay, which is Apple's secure and convenient mobile payments platform is finally expected to be coming to Canada tomorrow November 17 through American Express. Apple launched Apple Pay last year in the US and the service currently has Visa, MasterCard and American Express plus hundreds of banks, credit unions and retailers as partners.
Using secure Touch ID feature on iPhones (5S, 6 and 6S models) or Apple Watch and pre-authorized access to specific services like debit or credit cards, Apple Pay enables quick and safe transactions in store or even when shopping online. While neither Apple nor Amex have confirmed that Apple Pay is being launched, representatives of American Express have hinted at a date. For iPhone users in Canada, this could hopefully usher in the first of many Apple Pay revelations heading into the busy holiday shopping period.
