Where can I use Apple Pay? Tesco Bank and TSB customers can now use contactless mobile payment with iPhones 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and Apple Watch

The roll out of Apple Pay continues, with UK banks TSB and Tesco Bank now supporting the contactless payment method which can be used with iPhone and Apple Watches.

They bring the total number of banks to jump on board with Apple Pay to thirteen after it launched in July with most of the major banks involved.

Barclays is the only significant institution which has yet to offer Apple Pay support to customers and it's understood that it will eventually launch in early 2016.

A deal between the bank and Apple wasn't agreed until weeks before its launch, leaving it lagging behind competitors.

Apple Pay has also made its debut in Canada, only the third country in which it's available. But, only American Express cardholders will be able to use it after the card issuer and tech company extend a US partnership which started in 2014, although Amex cards issued by banks will not be supported.

On its website, Apple said that it is "working with more banks and stores to support Apple Pay".

While official user numbers have not been made available, several research firms suggest its use is hardly a standout success and that the number of people using it may even be in decline, particularly in the US.
