In this case it is a new wave of banks compatible with Apple's payment service, Apple Pay. It is true that in our country it has been in most banks for a long time, although they are always yet to come, but in this case in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands they still have few entities compatible with Apple's service and now they are expanding their network with new entities.
ING in Germany, bunq in Austria and ABN AMRO in the Netherlands are the banks that have been integrated into this payment service for a few hours. So the users of these entities can now start adding their cards directly to the iPhone Wallet app and start enjoying payment using the same iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and even from their Mac.
Announcements of entities are always made through their social networks to warn of the start of the service and in this case bunq in Austria was among the first to show its compatibility:
Starting today all of our users in Austria can set up Apple Pay in 5 minutes. 🌈

Now all these Apple users and customers of the different entities can already start using the Apple Pay payment service. Remember that this service is really safe, fast and efficient to be able to make payments anywhere as long as the dataphones have the NFC option. Today Apple Pay continues to gradually spread across Europe and the Middle East, reaching more countries such as Poland, Norway, Kazakhstan, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Saudi Arabia, Austria and Iceland and within these to more financial institutions.
