If a leaked memo from Walgreens management to store managers is accurate, the highly anticipated mobile payment system Apple Pay will officially go live on Oct. 18. That means iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users will be able to make purchases at Walgreens without cash or credit cards, instead utilizing only the futuristic payment service from Apple that uses near-field communication (NFC) technology.

As usual, Apple has not released any comment about the leak. The photo of the Walgreens memo first surfaced at MacRumors.com on Oct. 11 and was not immediately corroborated by other websites or mainstream media outlets.

MacRumors previously reported an executive from USAA bank indicated it would support Apple Pay starting Nov. 7, “leading many to believe the service might see an official launch on that date.”

The memo begins with a telling line – “In preparation for the launch of Apple Pay on October 18 …” – and proceeds to give instructions to store managers to take steps necessary for Apple Pay activation and to prepare store employees to answer customer questions.

The date Apple Pay is supposed to go live is only two days after the Cupertino company’s scheduled Oct. 16 product launch event. New iPads, new iMacs and the OS X Yosemite operating system are slated to be introduced at this event, according to reports. MacRumors suggests the event may be “an opportune time” to reveal Apple Pay’s launch date or even serve as the official launch.

In addition to Walgreens, Apple has initially partnered with the following companies to work with Apple Pay: McDonald’s, Subway, Whole Foods, Staples, Starbucks, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Bank of America, Chase, Citi, Target, Groupon and Uber.
