People tend to have more requirements than you do for payments, my bank doesn’t even offer minute info on transactions or full payment info until two days later, I have it on the second in my phone.
I also don’t want to carry around plastic cards for no good reason.
ApplePay is opt-in btw, so it’s not like you’re forced to use it. It’s an extremely good user product, far exceeding anything else we’ve had available in my country.
- oauea 5y agoSounds like your country happens to have a particularly poor implementation of a national payment system, which has biased you into thinking Apple is somehow the only company on earth who is able to make a decent payment system. Unfortunately for Apple that is not the case. With ideal, which again has been around for more than a decade, payments are instant and secure. Everyone has been using it for a decade. Works great! No need to pay apple 30%, and yet they demand it.
- techpression 5y agoApplePay doesn’t have a 30% cut on transactions, no bank in world would touch them if that were the case. So does your country provide phones that also serves as payment solutions or is it still plastic cards? Or are you suggesting everyone should get a free ride on Apple?
- techpression 5y ago“Payments are done using the mobile banking app or the online banking environment of your own bank. “ that’s from the ideal webpage, we’ve had solutions like that for a while too, that’s not why people want ApplePay, it’s for payments in stores or online (without jumping through hoops), not bank account transfers. Ideal also have that terrible QR code madness where you have to scan it with an app, that’s the dark ages, luckily those systems failed miserably here.
