When it seemed that the news related to Apple Pay was over, we have been talking all week about this wireless payments technology from Apple, a technology that we have published this week will soon arrive in India. But first it will go to Norway, a country where mobile payment is almost an obligation among its citizens. But Norway will not be the only country in Europe that will see how iPhone users will be able to start using their devices as a form of payment, since according to new rumors both Poland and the Netherlands will also be able to enjoy this payment technology before the end of the year .
As AppleInsider has learned, Polish home bank PKO Bank Polksi is already testing Apple Pay and it could start supporting before the end of the year. In the image above, we can see a card from this bank in the Wallet application ready to be used in a transaction.
If the selected bank in Poland has been PKO Bank Polksi, in the Netherlands it will be ING, a bank that coincidentally is also available in Spain, but at the moment does not respond to user requests about the possible arrival of its service in Spain. In addition to ING, in the Netherlands this service will also be compatible with the second largest bank in the country Bunq, while the country's third largest bank, Rabobank, says its adoption is not yet planned.
The expected date for the launch of Apple Pay in the Netherlands it's next november 2, The same day that Apple will present its economic results for the last fiscal quarter of 2017 and with which they close the same fiscal year. At the moment both Denmark and Finland are still in dry dock waiting to see when the country's banks take the plunge and offer Apple Pay. Luca Maestri, Apple's CFO, announced that the arrival of Apple Pay in these countries was imminent at the company's last financial results conference, three months ago.
I love that countries continue to join this payment method, it is very convenient and fast.
