Fitbit Pay - Banks

[DonaldMReif]

So what banks will support Fitbit Pay at launch? I'm curious.

Hi @DonaldMReif,

This Fitbit Pay article doesn't list the banks yet.

This TechRadar article  says the following will be supported:

At launch, compatible banks include ANZ, Banco Santander, Bank of America, Capital One, HSBC, KBC Bank Ireland, Royal Bank of Canada, and US Bank. Other banks that will support Fitbit Pay are sure to be announced soon.

At launch? From the Ionic press release:

"ANZ, Banco Santander, Bank of America, Capital One, HSBC, KBC Bank Ireland, OCBC Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, UOB and US Bank."

No updates yet. Over time more will be added.

If we look at the work done by Apple it took nearly 4 years to get to their current Pay implementation.  I'm not one for the "dark side".. a saying in my Windows computer days, I have an iPad for my wife...but if you look at this link - History and this link - Banks you will see what Apple have implemented and hopefully the providers will get into gear quickly with Fitbit.

I feel we should contact our providers as I did, my first point of contact knew nothing, but the respondee was positive enough to make inquiries and they came back to me with this, "You will be able to use Pay at the same time as the Fitbit is released in Australia.

I haven't looked back since October 3, and as I posted elsewhere, some of the small retailers, my arm isn't long enough to touch their PayWave device..

It's a great feature and hasn't missed a touch for me...

Even though it was not listed I was able to load my American Express card to Fitbit Pay.
