Banks aren't nearly as important as getting the users on board.
But it seems like those go hand in hand. If your bank doesn't support Apple Pay, you can't use it. So the banks have to come first before users can benefit.

I see American merchants are still being pathetic.

0 new merchants. When was the last time a new merchant partnered with Apple Pay?
All of my locally owned grocery stores started taking NFC payments, including Apple Pay. They're not "partnered" with Apple, per se... they just upgraded their POS units.
