Credit unions that offer current accounts have added Apple Pay to their services. The move comes as one of the leading credit unions in the State has decided to stop providing its members with the option of a current account. The credit union has 23,000 members, and was formed by a merger of the lenders servicing ESB workers; people who work for Mediahuis Ireland, the Irish Independent publisher; along with the credit union for The Irish Times staff. It has now added Apple Pay for those with an iPhone or an Apple Watch. Another five credit unions have signed up to offer the current account, according to Mr Newcombe of Currentaccount.ie, which was set up by credit unions to provide the current account.
