Apple Pay appears to be on the cusp of another European expansion.
Mobile banking service N26 today announced that Apple Pay will soon be available in Estonia, Greece, Portugal, Slovakia, and Slovenia. While the Facebook post has since been deleted, perhaps at Apple’s request, N26 reiterated that Apple Pay is coming soon to Portugal on its Twitter support account.

Slovakian bank Slovenská sporiteľňa confirmed that it will start supporting Apple Pay later this year, as reported by Aktuality.sk.
Apple Pay is also coming soon to Austria, according to N26 and Erste Bank, for a total of six new European countries. Apple Pay has been gradually expanding across Europe and the Middle East, including Belgium and Kazakhstan in November, Germany in December, and Czech Republic and Saudi Arabia last month.
Apple Pay first launched in the United States in October 2014 and is now available in over 30 regions. Earlier this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple Pay will be available in more than 40 regions by the end of 2019.
