Following the launch of Apple Pay in US late last year, Apple's mobile payment and digital wallet service, the company has officially started rolling out its very popular contactless payment system to Europe, enabling European customers to pay for their goods and services, wright from their iDevices.

Apple has started with the UK and supports over 250,000 retail stores across the nation, including Waitrose, Boots, and Marks & Spencern as well as Transport for London via its Tube, bus, and rail networks. Apple Pay also features in-app purchases, allowing users to buy pretty much anything on the web via online stores.

According to Apple's Apple Pay website, the mobile payment and digital wallet service only supports a number of banks and credit cards for now, including American Express, MBNA, Nationwide, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, and Ulster Bank, with more participating banks to announce thier support later on such as Barclays, TSB, HSBC, and much more.

Apple Pay is now available in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with more countries to follow later on.
