ING Direct is one step away from supporting Apple Pay in Australia

And it is that the image that has been leaked this afternoon in the well-known MacRumors medium says it all. Apple is squeezing this beginning of the year to be the worldwide implementation of its Apple Pay payment method and now it seems that after a while this Apple payment method is available, ING Direct would be one step away from being compatible in Australia.

This bank today has a really wide client portfolio around the world and if they take the step in Australia - where it seems imminent if we see the header image - the rest of the countries in which ING operates would be the following.

Nor can we rule out that at the same time this service is launched for its clients it is worldwide, since ING is an online bank where there are no offices as such and they may decide to take the plunge all over the world at the same time to the surprise of their customers.

In short, an afternoon focused on the Apple payment service and a couple of hours ago we talked about the arrival of the new payment service through the iPhone and compatible devices to Wirecard and its "boon" for users in our neighboring country France. Definitely It would be great if this reliable, fast and above all secure payment method took the step forward this year in all banks and entities that have the possibility of offering credit or debit cards. We have to wait for the official confirmation of ING Direct in Australia and then we will see how long it takes to launch this service in the rest of the world.
