Apple Pay to be supported by federal government services

Apple Pay is growing strong very fast. It left the competition in the dust in only a fraction of the time, with a plethora of partners and support. Their latest partner may be the most impressive, though – the US government.

Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage at the White House summit on cybersecurity and personal privacy, where he announced Apple pay would come to federal institutions come September. This will include being able to pay admission to federal parks and other similar transactions.

Opinion: This is huge, guys. This means Apple Pay has breached the border and stepped outside the private sector. This is no longer about just paying for your slurpee at 7-11. Apple Pay is reaching a whole other level, and they are working with the government to implement their services even deeper into the system.
