Apple’s much-anticipated mobile payment system, Apple Pay, officially launched Monday, Oct. 20, allowing millions of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+  users to make point-of-sale purchases using their devices. Unlike other mobile wallet systems, such as PayPal and Google Wallet, Apple Pay incorporates users’ existing credit and debit cards, allowing users to virtually switch between cards prior to making a purchase.

Will my card work with Apple Pay?

Some credit and debit card issuers have been touting capability to their cardholders. Prior to launch, Apple struck deals with Visa, MasterCard and American Express, as well as with some 500 banks. But it’s still unclear to some consumers whether their credit or debit card will work with the mobile wallet. Here at NerdWallet, we’ve compiled everything we know right now about which cards are wired for Apple Pay, and we will continue to publish updates as new information becomes available. For now, use the following links to learn more about each credit card issuer’s compatibility.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
