Lowe’s, the second largest home improvement chain in the United States, after Home Depot (which still does not accept Apple Pay), is rolling out Apple Pay support to its over 2,100 locations across America.
As reported by multiple 9to5Mac readers, Lowe’s locations across the United States started rolling out Apple Pay support last week. The company has also added tap-to-pay support for contactless credit and debit cards as well.
Walmart shows no signs of adopting Apple Pay, despite newfound pressure from Kroger, which added Apple Pay support back in April. Walmart is by far the biggest Apple Pay holdout in the United States nowadays.

Yay that’s great news. Every time I go to Lowe’s or home depot I always remind them that they and Walmart are the last holdouts. At Home Depot I remind them they used to support Apple Pay when it first came out. They would say at the time no we don’t. I would use it. the employees would be amazed and I would leave. It worked for a couple of months and then it didn’t. I asked why no one knew why. I even emailed corporate and they told me they were evaluating it. Now I’ll only go to Lowe’s.
Costco is a major holdout too.
Costco only accepts Visa cards. If you use a Visa card through ApplePay, it works there.
Costco accepts all ApplePay. I have a Mastercard linked to my wallet and it works just fine.
Problem is ApplePay is not supported for the Lowes credit card. I use it for 5% discount.
