Apple Pay is currently U.S. only, and while most major banks support it, not all do. Likewise, while the list of retailers that support Apple Pay in-store and online is growing, not everyone takes it yet. Finally, Apple Pay currently only works online with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, and in-store with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple Pay supporting banks
At launch, Apple Pay is U.S.-only, but supports credit and debit cards from most of the major issuers, including American Express, Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo, with support for Barclaycard, the Navy Federal Credit Union, PNC, USAA, and USBank coming later in the year.
Notably absent is Discover Card. The credit card issuer has lagged behind MasterCard, Visa, and American Express in consumer adoption over the last few years, but it's not completely out of the mobile loop—Google Wallet supports Discover, after all. As such, it's likely we'll see it come to Apple Pay sometime down the line.
Apple maintains an updated list of banks that support it:
