http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/11/Apple-Pay-250x434-1-copy-250x377.jpgSmartphone users in China are facing a number of system errors trying to sign up for Apple Pay after it was officially released (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/17/apple-pay-**w-available-in-china/) in the country yesterday.
Apple's mobile payment service became available on February 18 through a partnership with China's state-run interbank network, UnionPay. However, it appears that the sheer amount of users attempting to sign up to the platform during the first 24 hours has overloaded the system.
"It kept telling me the phone 'can**t connect to Apple Pay' or the verification for the card is **t available when I was linking a bankcard," said one iPhone owner (http://english.caixin.com/2016-02-18/100910300.html), who did eventually link the card after several attempts but then "could **t even open the app" to register a**ther.
Mashable (http://mashable.com/2016/02/19/apple-pay-china/#yLh02bPRl8qy) **tes that a number of users on Chinese microblogging site Weibo have also reported problems getting their bank cards verified on the service, suggesting Apple may have underestimated the initial surge in demand. Indeed, Beijing-based news outlet Caixin Online (http://english.caixin.com/2016-02-18/100910300.html) quoted an Apple spokesperson who ack**wledged the problem, saying it was due to too many people trying to sign up and "would **t last a second day."
Apple initially an**unced (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/17/apple-pay-china-unionpay-partnership/) its intention to launch Apple Pay in China in December, with plans to make the service available in early 2016 following the "relevant tests and certification" required by Chinese regulators.
China is Apple's second largest market when it comes to revenue after the americas. Deals with 19 of the biggest lenders in China will see 80 percent of credit and debit cards in China eligible for use with Apple Pay.
