Apple Pay Launches in Hong Kong with Support for MasterCard, Visa, and American Express CardsJust after
becoming available in France,
Apple Pay has also
expanded to Hong Kong. Starting today, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express debit and credit cards issued by Hang Seng Bank, Bank of China (Hong Kong), DBS Bank (Hong Kong), HSBC, Standard Chartered, and directly from American Express work with Apple's payment service.
According to the
Apple Pay Hong Kong website, Apple Pay support will be coming to Hong Kong's Bank of East Asia and Tap & Go in the near future.

Cards can be added to Apple Pay by tapping the "Add Credit or Debit Card" option in the Wallet app on devices running iOS 8.1 or later. Apple Pay works with the
iPhone 6,
iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, and
iPhone SE, and it is available on the iPhone 5, 5c, and 5s when paired with an
Apple Watch. Apple Pay in apps is also available on iPads with
Touch ID, including the
iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3,
iPad mini 4, and both
iPad Pro models.
Apple Pay in Hong Kong can be used anywhere contactless payments are accepted and at a wide range of retail partners, including 7-Eleven, KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Pacific Coffee, Su-Pa-De-Pa, Taste, ThreeSixty, Uny, and more.
Apple Pay is now available in the United States, the UK, China, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, France, and Hong Kong. Later in 2016, Apple plans to expand Apple Pay to Spain through a
