I really hope this happens, and happens soon!
@rosemaryorchard we got it a long time ago ... but only one bank support it. The banks are too busy making their own solutions
@jemostrom We have some banks trying to roll their own, but I don't want a sticker on the back of my phone or a bracelet - especially considering how hideous they are! I'm with 2 very progressive banks thankfully, and one has already implemented it elsewhere so 🤞
@rosemaryorchard good luck. In Sweden we have a system called Swish which is dependent on an identification system called BankID. I suspect that BankID is used by a HUGE majority of Swedes and Swish also have a huge customer base so the banks don’t have any real incentive to adopt a system like Apple Pay. For various reasons I’m not a user of any of these two systems.
@jemostrom Here it's just one or two banks rolling their own, and it's not popular. As the nerd department at work we tested these (we provide part of the system which produces student ID cards, so are interested in card replacements!), our conclusion was: not particularly secure, or easy to use. Hopefully the right banks get Apple Pay, and those that don't learn quickly with people switching away that we want these options. (One bank started charging people to withdraw cash, and lost quite a few customers - including me!)
@rosemaryorchard Barclays rolled their own here in the UK for a while but soon switched to Apple Pay.
@Eyebee I'm hoping that all of them will have Apple Pay from the get go. Failing that, that at least one of my banks (and preferably my CC company) will!
