A group of banks added support for Apple Pay today, including USAA, PNC Bank, US Bank, Barclaycard, and Navy Federal Credit Union.

USAA and PNC had previously said that Apple Pay wouldn’t be supported until November 7th, but their cards have already started working in Passbook as of this morning.

“We’re excited to make this new service available to our members starting today,” said Randy Hopper, vice president of credit cards and business optimization at Navy Federal, the largest credit union in the US.

“Our members live fast-paced and mobile lives. And, they have enthusiastically adopted our mobile banking solutions. Now, with Apple Pay, they’ll be able to save time when shopping while having a safe and easy payment experience.”

“We couldn’t be more pleased to see this day arrive for our customers,” said Dominic Venturo, chief innovation officer at U.S. Bank in another statement. “Providing our customers the ability to securely pay where, when and how they want is a central theme for our payments business. Enabling our customers to use Apple Pay is the perfect example of how we bring that philosophy to life.”

All of the banks listed as coming “later this year” by Apple flipped the Apple Pay switch this morning,

Apple still lists USAA, PNC, US Bank, and Navy Federal among the list of Apple Pay partners coming “later this year,” but the list will likely be updated soon to reflect their integration. Today’s banks join American Express, Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, Citi, and Wells Fargo as Apple Pay partners in the US.
