At the moment, in many countries, including Spain, we are still waiting for the arrival of the Apple Pay payment method, which contrasts with what is happening in the United States, which is spreading more and more. It is true that the news of the arrival of Apple Pay in Spain excited us in its day when the CEO of Apple said that in 2016 it would arrive in our country, but at the moment it does not seem that we are close to it or maybe we are.
But leaving aside whether or not it reaches Spain and the rest of the countries where the service remains inactive, the expansion of Apple Pay does not stop in the United States and the ExoonMobil service stations began to accept payment through Apple Pay at 6.000 of your stores distributed by 46 states.
In the case of these gas stations that accept payment through the Apple Watch or the iPhone, we will not be able to bring the device directly to the pump or similar, to make this type of payment at gas stations in a secure way it is required the ExxonMobile signature app and from the application we will be able to make the payment. To do this, we will stand in front of the pump chosen through the app and from the car itself, geolocation will allow it to be activated to fill up fuel.
Payment is made using the fingerprint registered in Apple Pay as in the other cases, but you do not have to bring your smartphone close to the pump or anything similar. Hopefully soon all this will reach Spain and the rest of the countries where Apple Pay is also expected.
