Those in the U.K. may soon be able to pay for items with a tap of their iPhone.
According to a new report from The Telegraph, Apple is in talks with Britain's "top banks" to launch its new mobile payment system in the U.K. in the first half of 2015. At this point, Apple and "at least one of the biggest banks" are still working out the terms of the deal, however, including what data Apple will be able to access, the newspaper's sources said.
"It is understood the bank is uncomfortable with the amount of personal and financial information Apple wants to collect about its customers," The Telegraph notes. "Some executives fear Apple Pay and the data it delivers to Apple could serve as a beachhead for an invasion of the banking industry."
Launched in the U.S. in October, Apple Pay works on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and lets you use those devices as mobile wallets.
Apple maintains that the technology does not store your credit card number. It creates a device-only account number each time you pay. If you go to a physical location, Cupertino doesn't know what you bought, where you bought it, or how much you paid. The cashier also doesn't know your name.
In the U.S., most major banks and a growing list of retailers now support Apple Pay. Cupertino earlier this month told The New York Times that it now supports the cards that represent roughly 90 percent of credit card purchases in the U.S.
