Australian banks have been releasing NFC payment apps for Android phones for years now and there haven't been any major attacks.
I'm reasonably confident they can handle this well. I don't trust Apple nearly as much as I trust my bank.

ApplePay is already operating at scale in numerous countries without any incidents. Why wouldn't you trust Apple with an already proven system?

Do you have even anecdotal evidence of Android payments being compromised? > ApplePay is already operating at scale in numerous countries without any incidents. Why wouldn't you trust Apple with an already proven system? I didn't say I wouldn't trust it, I said I wouldn't trust it more than my banks. My banks have been operating at scale years longer than Apple has. Not the same scale but enough that I'm confident.
