Apple Pay 'Making Up a Lot of Ground' With Competitors Thanks to Success of Apple Pay Cash

[Mac-lover3]

Yet my iPhone 5S running iOS 12.1 can't do Apple Pay Cash.

Well yeah Apple Pay in any form is only supported by 6s/6s+/SE

I linked my PayPal cash debit card to my Apple Pay. So would that be recorded as using Apple Pay or PayPal?

Good question. I’d assume Apple Pay.

I don't know why I was flagged to be required to send a pic of my license. I didn't want to do that and waited a while before applying again. After giving every info they wanted, they still wanted a pic of my license, so I gave up. I did chat with Green Bank reps. They were good in the beginning but they were noticeable not as good later on. Others have told me the same, saying they sounded burnt out. Maybe it's better now??

Apple Pay may be the king in other counties, but not in China. Everybody uses WeChat or Alipay or some other app for these.

What?? Apple\Google\Samsung Pay are all available in Canada (unless you live in the Arctic I suppose!)
I use Google Pay everywhere I shop (that has Tap capabilities without issue). When I enter a shop Google will even tell me if that location has Google Pay!!

yeah...you didn't read the article obviously. The article is about apple pay cash, not apple pay.

There are always two sides of the medal. In this case Apple's fees which hurt the banks, the amount multiplies tremendously year over year across all customer payments.

"Multiplies tremendously?" "Hurt?" No, the .015% or 15 cents on a $100 transaction out of the 3 or so percent they get was never going to be a hurt. It's more than offset by the near elimination of fraud that accompanies Apple Pay, increased customer convenience and increased use of their card. It's why the vast majority of banks, credit unions, etc., in the US and around the world have now jumped on board and now there are thousands participating. The reluctance has been just among the few in certain countries that hold a monopoly/oligopoly, e.g., the big three in Australia, on the customer data/control that they fear is threatened by losing data/control.
