Apple Pay arriving tomorrow in Canada
If you live in Canada, you may have been upset that Apple Pay still hasn't launched yet. Be ready to add your cards to those iPhones tomorrow. Though, only if it's an American Express card.
Earlier this month, when users attempted to add a Canadian AMEX card (To an iPhone on a US setting) they received new a message from American Express reading “We are unable to complete your request to add your card”, then, users were asked to “call the number on the back of your card” for assistance.
This new error message hinted that AMEX was likely preparing for Apple Pay support in Canada. Now, customer service representatives have confirmed that American Express is getting ready for Apple Pay to go live in Canada tomorrow, November 17.
Apple had mentioned that American Express was going to lead expansion of Apple Pay beyond the UK and the US, with Canada and Australia to see the service launching by the end of the year while Spain, Singapore, and Hong Kong are to get it in 2016.
