And is that a few hours ago our colleague Ignacio Sala, gave us the good news that Apple Pay will be available with the online banking entity N26, At the end of the year and along with the good news comes another even more good news, Boon is now available to users in Spain.
In a slower way than we want, more options are available for Apple users who want to use Apple Pay in Spain, but today a couple of very good news has been put together for everyone.
From today we can use the payment method with our compatible Apple devices in Boon, as they say in their official statement from the Wirecard company. In this case, you have to understand what Boon means and how it works, but we already anticipated that it is not a bank. something more similar to using PayPal since we will have to add a balance to be able to make payments through Apple Pay.
Boon allows two modes of use, the BASIC and PLUS. In short, it allows us to make transfers to a virtual card with which payments will be made with Apple Pay. This Boon card is added to Wallet like any other and voila, the best thing is that it does not force you to do anything in terms of commitments and so on.
Charge of 0.99 euros per month, one year free and some fees to consider. It is important to read the conditions well before performing any association operation or taking the step with Boon, but in principle we are clear that during the first year is totally free for the user, If you recharge the virtual card using your debit card and not by bank transfer (the transfer takes a couple of days and with the card it is instantaneous) they will charge you 1% of the amount you add and lastly if you pay outside of Europe a fee applies 1,25% of the purchase amount.
In short, it is a good method to start using Apple Pay if your bank does not offer it, you do not like the rest of the available options and you do not want to wait any longer, but you have to choose the plan that best suits your needs and then enjoy that year free to continue or not depending on the situation of your bank or your own experience with Boone. More good news!
