Hi guys,
I might be visiting the US this year.
My question is, as a tourist, can I apply a debit/prepaid card from one of the US banks for use with Apple Pay? Or are there any alternatives? I really want to try Apple Pay since contactless terminals(PayWave/Paypass) are already available here in my country.
Funds will not be a concern since I have a relative there to deposit money in it.

I have a debit card in my Apple Pay. I haven't tried a pre-paid card so I can't be sure, but I'd imagine that would work also. The easiest way to know with a pre-paid card is simply to try it. If it doesn't work, no harm no foul.
