During the last keynote, one of the news that Apple showed us related to the news of iOS 11 was related again to the messages application, an application that in the latest versions of iOS has taken a special role, and that will allow us to send money to our friends from Apple Pay to our friends. This payment method was initially announced for the United States, but it seems that the guys from Cupertino do not want to stop there and have begun to make movements about it in Europe, since as LetsGoDigitial has learned, Apple has registered the trademark for the entire European Union.
This does not mean that this option will be available with the launch of iOS 11, but it is more than likely that it will do so in the coming months, when Apple Pay begins to be available in more European countries. As we can read in LetsGoDigital, the registration of the Apple Pay Cash brand was carried out on August 31 by Locke Lord LLP. Registering a trademark in Europe This is great news for Spanish users who currently use Apple Pay to make payments for our purchases, since it will also allow us to quickly send money to the Apple Pay account from anywhere without having to resort to an ATM as we can currently do with some banks.
At the end of this year, according to all the information, the exclusivity that Banco Santander has with Apple Pay in Spain will end therefore, several banks will join this electronic form of payment, as long as they do not insist on trying to convince users that their current electronic payment systems are the best alternative. The N26 bank was among the first to announce this launch for the end of the year. The Boon card issuer has already been offering this service for a couple of months. La Caixa is another of the banks that will probably offer this form of payment to all its customers in the coming months. As we can see, the offer is increasingly wide.
