I find it particularly annoying that Apple Pay isn't in the UK yet, although we've had contactless for a few years.

- mladenkovacevic 11y agoSame situation in Canada. About 80-90% of retailers have contactless payment terminals. No Google or Apple Pay though. Tapping a credit card is easy enough though.
- vinay427 11y agoIf I recall correctly, Google Wallet should work with any of those contactless payment terminals. I've tried it a few times in the US, anyway.
- cowsandmilk 11y agothe problem isn't in the hardware. It is in the backend payment processing. Both Apple Pay and Google Wallet have hardware support, just not the banking relationships.
- ticksoft 11y agoProbably better to support a platform agnostic solution rather than bolstering a manufacturer's specific option.
- jackgavigan 11y agoApple Pay isn't just contactless - it's also tokenized. See http://newsroom.mastercard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/02-25-Secure-mobile-payments-01.jpg http://newsroom.mastercard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/02...
