So far, Apple has not turned its attention to the countries of Eastern Europe, but it seems to be slowly but surely, there are also services that so far have only available the USA, Canada, Australia and a few countries in Western Europe.

A question that has been sitting on everyone's lips for some time, along with ”When will they be in Romanian?", Is"When will we have Apple Pay in Romania?"Well, we have good news. More banks in Romania, including Banca Transilvania (BTRL), ING, BCR (Romanian commercial bank – membra a Embarrassing group), the campaigns have already started announcing that from this Apple Pay will be available in Romania. Most likely, along with Apple Pay to get the Apple Card announced.
Besides the banks in Romania, Apple Pay will also be brought by the mobile operator, Orange. They already have a money transfer service, called Orange Money, which seems to be integrated with Apple Pay.

When will Apple Pay and Apple Card arrive in Romania? - The Apple Pay will definitely be available this year in the offer of several important banks in Romania, not just the above mentioned. Marketing campaign What promotes the new service are at least fun. After ING announced the first as "Apple Pay vine la ING", Shortly after, the replica of the Bank of Transylvania came:"Not just to some“. 🙂
