Apple Pay gains advantage in the case of Australian banks

apple-pie

Although Apple Pay is one of the best payment options that exist today, some problems Apple is having in several countries. The case of the three Australian banks: Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac, is becoming famous for the refusal of the Cupertino guys to open the NFC for their "personal" use due to possible security problems. Well, it seems that at the moment Apple wins a point after the resolution of the ACC (Australian Competition Authority) by provisionally denying the banks' request.

To explain it in a simple and fast way We will tell you that Apple does not want its NFC to be used outside its "control" and instantly lose the possibility of earning some money in these operations at the expense of the banks, but on their side the banks want their customers to use or They can use the NFC of their iPhone to make payments with banking services and not pay Apple. With this open fight they continue and now it seems that Apple has obtained one more step with this resolution of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission, so the system does not open at the moment. At the moment the bank ANZ is still the only one that first accepted Apple's conditions.

While some of us want Apple Pay to land once and for all in our country, we come across this type of news that may end up being the key to why the expansion of Apple Pay is not faster. In any case Australian banks haven't lost the war, it's just a battle and it may be that if they end up winning it, it will have a direct impact on the rest of the countries or it may simply be that Apple will take different measures so that it does not happen in more places. Be that as it may, in Spain we are waiting for news of the arrival of Apple Pay for this 2016 and if it is for the keynote of September then great.
