How to enable Apple Pay outside of the U.S.

Pay safely and easily with Apple Pay - but unfortunately not in Germany. With a trick you activate the service in this country, too.

1. Switch to the settings of your iPhone.
2. Then navigate to the "Language & Regions" option and under "Region" change the region to "United States".
3. "Passbook & Apple Pay" is then displayed in the settings. If this is not the case, short-circuit the settings and then open them again.
4. Under "Passbook & Apple Pay" you now have the option to add a new credit card.
5. However, please note that German credit cards are not accepted as this service was originally planned for the USA.
6. Note: This practical tip is based on Apple iOS 7.
