Apple's payment platform is available in many countries throughout the world and as of the end of this year, it is expected join this great list, Israel. It seems that Apple eis ready to disembark in the country from the hand of one of the most important providers, Isracard. Although the competition is already preparing so that it is not the only company to offer this service.
I have to admit that Apple Pay it is one of the best "inventions" I have ever added to my lifestyle. Actually, it is one of the most useful functions and that I use the most in my day to day. Especially since March of this year that I try to avoid paying with cash. Wherever I go, I take out the iPhone and without touching the terminal I pay what I have bought. Most useful especially with the Apple Watch. I can no longer conceive of my day to day without this functionality.
For this reason, I am happy to know that every day the countries where we can use Apple Pay are expanding. From the end of this year, Israel will join a long list of countries where it already operates. You will do it through one of the large payment card provider companies. Isracard Group has been operating for more than 40 years and locally issues American Express, MasterCard and Visa cards, along with its own Isracard brand. Isracard customers in Israel currently use more than 4 million cards, and more than 100.000 companies accept them.
It will not be the only one. The companies Max and ICC are also in talks with Apple, some in a more advanced stage. So it is not surprising that within a few months we see these two companies launching their Apple Pay option as well.
