Since the Australian launch of Apple Pay, the Cupertino-based company has done nothing but have problems with the main banks in the country, since they do not want to go through the ring of the commissions that Apple demands, but if they want to make use of the NFC chip of the devices that Apple manufactures, something that has led both parties before a court in the country, a court that has given them the reason to Apple since the security of the data entered in Apple Pay is jeopardized if it is opened to third parties to be able to use the chip that allows payments to be made wirelessly.
