http://finextra.com/news/fullstory.aspx?newsitemid=27445

Apple Pay will launch in the UK in July, with eight of the country’s biggest banks, a host of merchants, and Transport for London all on-board. The UK will be the second country to get Apple Pay, which launched in the US last October, enabling users to make online and instore payments with their iPhones and Apple watches. HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Bank and Santander are among the banks backing the service, while Boots, Nando’s and Waitrose lead a host of merchants that will accept iPhone-based payments. In addition, users of public transport in London will be able to pay for journeys with a tap of their handsets.

It’s interesting to see Apple launching their payments offering and I love the support of Waitrose and Transport for London, it’s very smart, as is being able to pay for your journey on the tube.
