Apple Pay is coming to approximately 200,000 self-serve appliances like vending machines, laundry machines and parking pay stations around the country, USA Technologies announced Tuesday. The company builds cashless payment systems into retail devices; its ePort payment system boasts a Near Field Communication sensor that is now compatible with Apple Pay. The number of vendors accepting Apple Pay has been steadily increasing since the service launched on the iPhone 6 in October. The mobile payment and digital wallet service faces competition from Google’s Wallet app and CurrentC, an upcoming mobile payment system backed by large retailers like Walmart. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3684755/apple-pay-expansion-vending-laundry-machines/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3684755/apple-pay-expansion-vending-laundry-machines/"},"headline":"Apple Pay Is Coming to Thousands of Laundry and Vending Machines","datePublished":"2015-01-27T19:49:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:04:15.571Z","description":"No more mooching off your coworkers for change for a Coke","url":"https://time.com/3684755/apple-pay-expansion-vending-laundry-machines/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","mobile payments","Mobile","apple pay"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Victor Luckerson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/victor-luckerson/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3684755/apple-pay-expansion-vending-laundry-machines/","name":"Apple Pay Is Coming to Thousands of Laundry and Vending Machines"}}]}] ```
