I never said anyone "lied," so I am tired of having that word thrown back in my face. Perhaps you should take you own advice, and try reading and understanding what people say, and it wasn't that. Once again, for the cheap seats: The actual fact is, we don't know what Apple means by "signed up." We only know that these banks are not currently offering the product and we also can't be sure when or if they will. The other question I raised is whether small banks are on board. The evidence already supplied suggests that they are not flocking to Apple Pay because the terms favor the large banks.
Don't take the word "lied" as an accurate description of the situation or that it is your exact interpretation of what your implying. You can throw in a dozen words in to describe a more appropriate statement as you wish. Misinterpret, Misinformed and so on. I used lied as an extreme example in a worst case scenario of what Apple really means by "Signed Up" not indicative to any one person.
But looking on Visa's website of named banks does make it look legitimate.
