Practically since its launch, and as Apple's wireless payments technology has expanded to more countries, Apple Pay has become a platform widely used by many users who choose to leave home without money, only with your iPhone or Apple Watch.
But this technology has not had a bed of roses, especially in Australia, where the Cupertino-based company has faced several lawsuits in which a group of banks demanded that he release the use of the NFC chip so that the bank's apps could use it.
Obviously, from the beginning and until now, Apple has refused, stating that freeing access to this chip would mean a security problem not only for your platform, but also for all those users who will use it with other banks. Finally it seems that this group of banks has given up and has had no choice but to go through the hoop, and adopt this form of payment, accepting the commissions that Apple demanded for this service, their main problem to use it, since They didn't want to split their card usage commission with a third party who just arrived at the party.
The first Australian bank that was part of this group and that has ended up going through the hoop is Bless Bank, who already allows all the clients of his bank to add their cards to Wallet to be able to make use of them at any of the businesses compatible with Contact Less technology, a technology that in recent years has expanded in most countries, for what is currently very difficult to find a business that does not have a terminal compatible with this technology.
