service Apple Pay He caught very well in the countries in which he launched. I have seen in stores many people who prefer to pay directly with iPhone or with Apple Watch, without having to remove the card and type a PIN. An easy, fast and safe way of payment, by which a payment is made by the simple approach to the SOP. The only condition is that it is compatible contactless.
About how we add a debit card or credit card to Apple Pay, we talked and showed step by step in this tutorial. At that time, there were only a few banks in Romania who accepted the addition of the bank card to Apple Pay. Banca Transilvania, ING Bank, UniCredit Bank.
Good news has come these days. A new "wave" of banks have brought the Apple Pay service for customers. BCR, OTP Bank and Credit Europe Bank (from the Half of October 2019 and the clients Raiffeisen Bank) and the new market names, which offer this service.
At the moment, iPhone devices can make contactless payments with the device, only through Apple Pay.
Germany is preparing to introduce an amendment to a law, to force Apple to provide access to chip-ul NFC and to others contactless payments, like Fitbit Pay, Google Pay or ING Pay. It is questionable if this will happen, given that Apple is recognized for strict rules. Three banks in Australia have been trying to gain access to the NFC chip on the iPhone, without any success so far.
According to Apple, access to NFC for third parties could pose users' confidential data security issues. However, if the law passes, and Germany will force Apple to provide NFC access to other applications, the American company could perceive a reasonable tax for this facility.
