It is true that Apple Pay is still somewhat distant in the majority of users who live in countries outside the United States, but the Cupertino company does not stop launching new partnerships with banking entities in the countries where they do have a presence.
Another option that little or nothing has been said about this payment method with NFC technology that Apple devices have, is the option that allows you to withdraw cash from ATMs with this technology implemented in the machines of the entities. The truth is that little by little these ATMs are being distributed and users who want to can withdraw money from the ATM itself using Apple Pay.
To give a similar example in Spain, we already have several La Caixa ATMs that allow cash withdrawals via NFC-compatible cards. Now in the United States, the ATMs of many of its branches are beginning to be changed so that this method of withdrawing cash is more common.
Our neighboring country France will already have this payment technology available through Apple Pay, despite the fact that in Spain the company announced the arrival of the service for this year and many of us were left with the desire to see it launched during WWDC last week, no there is no other than to be patient. On the other hand, once the Apple Pay option arrives, we will have another way to make businesses and most entities compatible, so we have to arm ourselves with patience.
