Any news in when Apple Pay cash will be available in the U.K.?

That may be the case here too, but as I mentioned, we are not party to management decisions.

As a comment, Apple are not used to doing things in a casual way but it should always be possible that another bank may later wish to join with those already in the scheme.

I'm afraid we are not party to Apple's management decisions.

They will make a formal announcement of the date when they are ready.
