In April 2020, the bank announced that Apple Pay support would be "coming soon," though it's likely that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic caused a delay in the program's launch.

Apple Pay saw slow adoption among the Swiss banking industry, until their boycott and reliance on a single mobile pay solution lead to antitrust investigations. Starting in 2016, Swiss banks slowly started moving away from "Twint," their home-grown mobile payment system of choice, and allowed Apple Pay for their customers. Most of the major banks had adopted Apple's service, with UBS being the exception.
