Apple continues with the expansion of the payment service Apple Pay and this time it's Taiwan's turn. As explained in Digitimes, the Cupertino company is preparing the launch of this payment service through Apple Watch, iPhone and Mac in the country. It is explained that contrary to what happened to us here in Spain with the number of banks that joined this payment method (officially only Santander) in Taiwan, there will be up to 6 financial institutions that will only be put into operation will join, These banks are: Cathay United Bank, CTBC Bank, E. Sun Commercial Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank, Taishin International Bank and Union Bank of Taiwan.
When the service is activated in Taiwan, Apple will have 14 countries with this active payment service after the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, China, France, Russia, Switzerland, New Zealand, Spain, Singapore and Japan. The growth of operations with this payment method continues to surprise everyone and Apple already commented at the financial results conference on January 31 that transactions with Apple Pay rose 500%. Also in the web section of Apple Pay (pay from Macs) great results are also being seen, Cook said, with almost two million stores that now accept the online payment system with Apple Pay.
We are facing the arrival of more countries in which you can use this Apple service and It is logical that where it is most established is in the United StatesBut this does not mean that the Cupertino company closes its doors in other countries and wherever it goes, it tends to be very successful.
