Several Retailers to Begin Testing Apple Pay Rival CurrentC

[ZCT]

Calling this an alternative to Apple Pay is like saying that writing a check is a convenient alternative to using a credit or debit card.

Yeah, their real competition is Samsung & Google, but considering some of the heavyweight retailers behind CurrentC, although their chances of success are looking fairly slim at the moment, I wouldn't completely count them out just yet. I know I have no intention of ever using it, and the decision to not support major credit cards is dumb and won't last if they expect to make it.

I take advantage of credit card promotions and rewards and pay balances before accruing interest, too.



Congrats! You'll have to call and do your debt free screen in February. I like his show (minus the religious stuff), I just don't follow his advice like I should. Common sense is so rare these days, and I think he and his programs help a lot of people.

Good luck sharing your bank account information with them...no sane customers should fall for that crap...

Does anyone know what this Honeywell scanner is next to the Credit Card / NFC terminal at my local McDonalds? Just noticed it this past weekend. Don't tell me they are about to take CurrentC as well! Seems strange to see them installing new hardware to read optical codes.
