On the other hand Apple continues smoothing the ground in Taiwan and Kenya to have this payment option available as soon as possible.
All this comes to us through a report and Apple Pay may already be available next week in several stores in Russia. It is not something confirmed but it will surely come soon since the company already said it a while ago. At the moment it is a leak but we cannot rule it out since the tests are real in banks and shops, and it seems that the results are positive.
On the other hand, the company does not neglect the expansion of this payment method that has also reached Macs thanks to the new macOS Sierra operating system, and therefore Taiwan and the banks: CTBC Bank, Cathay United Commercial Bank, E.SUN Commercial Bank and Taishin International Bank, They are already practically closed to collaborate with this payment system.
On the other hand mayor banco de Kenia, Grupo KCB, estaría involucrado en el primer contacto de este sistema de pago en África, además por extraño que parezca tecnología el sistema de pago mediante móvil está firmemente establecida en Kenia gracias a la plataforma M-Pesa de Safaricom que opera con este sistema desde 2007. En 2014, las transacciones de M-Pesa durante los primeros 11 meses del año alcanzaron un valor de casi la mitad del PIB del país.
