As we reported yesterday, Apple's long-awaited wireless payment technology finally available in Germany. The launch of Apple Pay in this country has been accompanied by a large number of rumors throughout this year, until finally Tim Cook announced that it would be available in Germany before the end of the year.
For a few hours, all users of Apple products they can now add their credit or debit cards to Wallet and start paying for purchases made through your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. For now, and as we can see on the Apple website, Apple Pay is compatible with 15 banks and credit institutions.
Banks and credit institutions that since their launch are cCompatible with Apple Pay They are: Comdirect, Deutsche Bank, Fidor Bank, Hanseatic Bank, HypoVereinsbank and prepaid service Edenred. Mobile banking services Boon, Bunq, N26, o2, Square and VIMpay. For next year, Apple says that this technology will also be available through ING, Revolut, Sodexo, VIABUY, Crosscard, DKB, Consors Finanz and Consors Bank.
The main reason why this technology has taken so long to reach this country is due, as is usual, to thethe fees that Apple charges for each transaction, commissions that in the case of small banks, can be all your benefit. Germany thus becomes the last country that is compatible with Apple Pay and where it arrives after Belgium and Kazakhstan debuted last November.
Currently, countries where Apple Pay available are: Germany, Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Isle of Man, Guirney, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Norway, New Zealand, Russia, Poland, San Marino , Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States and Vatican City.
