Outdated? The Sparkassen-Card? I don´t think so.
I am talking about the EC Cards which will never be supported by Apple Pay. In other countries people use Debit Cards which work exactly like Credit Cards but limited to your balance like the one of N26. I went to the Deutsche Bank once and asked about Debit Cards like other online banks offer in Germany, they told me that it may come sometime in the future but not really cause people still love cash and EC Cards.

Anyway there is a new article on 9to5mac which says that Apple Pay will launch tommorow in Spain, spain's pages were also translated the same at the same date as the German pages so fingers crossed for a launch tommorow.
 
"Coming soon to the 5 local stores that support Visa!"

This is so true! We love you Germany - biggest consumer market in Europe and 50 years behind the times in the payments world!!

Which is a good thing because giving up cash means giving up freedom.

Sounds rather dramatic! Possibly an exaggeration...? :)

Controversial!!

German stores take cards...just not anything other than German debit cards. The 50 years behind characterization is probably closer to what the US actually is (though is finally getting better).
 
I`ve just seen some Apple Pay related screenshots in German language on Apple´s website.

Guys, I´ve got a question. I played around with Siri and said "Apple Pay" and "Apple Pay aktivieren" (German) aktivieren= activate. The Wallet App opened up. New or not? I´m not sure.
 
I hope there will be a wide European rollout. Not just Germany and Italy but also Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Denmark etc
Not all the pages have been translated into Dutsch yet. On the other hand no big deal for the Dutch.

I found this in the Dutch Search, with Dutch description: https://discussions.apple.com/community/apple_pay

And other stuff... So let us hope together.
