It was the country that remained to be launched of the three that they mentioned in the keynote of the last WWDC in June and our neighboring country You already have the option to pay using this great Apple Pay payment method. Now what we have to see is which would be the next countries to have this comfortable and secure active payment system.
For now, in France there are already a good handful of businesses where payment can be made using the iPhone or Apple Watch and it is expected that they will gradually spread to the rest of the country's businesses. Remember that It is necessary to have a credit or debit card registered in the country to be able to pay with Apple Pay, so users who live in Spain near the border with the Gallic country know that this is necessary to make payments with Apple Pay.
The list of businesses is quite extensive but it will surely grow with the passage of time and negotiations:
- Apple Stores
- Bocage
- Eram
- Flunch
- parkeon
- Le Grande Epicerie Paris
- Simply
- Well done
- Galeries Lafayette
- They limp
- Gemo
- Sephora
- Baker
And as for the banks, they are the following:
It is clear that Apple wants its services to reach as many countries as possible and that users want to use these services as soon as possible, but too many parties are involved in these operations and the negotiations are not as simple as they seem, so let's hope these negotiations will not be spread too much and that this year Apple Pay ends up reaching Spain and other countries.
