N26 bringing Apple Pay to customers in Spain

Mobile bank N26 is continuing its close association with Apple Pay, saying it will bring the mobile payment service to its customers in Spain later this year.

A positive reaction to bringing Apple Pay into Italy in the past few months, and requests from customers to add other countries to the service, triggered the movement into Spain, Berlin-based N26 stated in a blog.

N26 was quick to take advantage of an iOS update that would enable consumers to initiate voice payments last year, enhancing its person-to-person payment service through the use of Apple's Siri virtual assistant.

In its efforts to provide all financial services through a mobile app, N26 also informed its customers it would soon add an insurance service to go along with its mobile payments, and credit and savings accounts.
