Apple Pay launched in the UK last summer, and made relatively swift progress adding banks. However, there was one notable holdout: Barclays, the country's second biggest bank. Today the company has announced it's adding support for Apple Pay. Barclaycard holders will be able to add their debit or credit cards to the app, and then pay using their iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad at the UK's 400,000 or so compatible locations. You know how it works.

This will be welcome news for Barclays customers, who have been asking for Apple Pay support for nearly a year now. Barclays last promised that support would be arriving at the end of March, and although they've just missed that deadline, it's not too far after. The company now joins a list of the biggest banks in the UK offering support for Apple Pay, including NatWest, Santander, HSBC, Nationwide, Halifax, Lloyds, and RBS. Instructions for getting set up with Barclays can be found on the company's website.
