      It's banks that offer/issue the cards and so it just be them that offer Apple Pay, not Amex

    • Bwatcher on 09/04/2016 - 10:27

      Nope. The truth is both Apple and the banks are responsible for the holdup.

      Apple predominantly for wanting to take an unnecessary profit via a significant cut of the interchange fee (reportedly 15bps) for "grafting" on to a service that runs on the current payment network-financial institutions topology (which Apple paid nothing to establish).

      The banks for holding up advancement of technology. And for not sharing some of its profits to Apple to further market Apple products.

      The banks are also dragging their feet with Android Pay, likely to protect their customer spend data that they can use to market their banks' own services.

      In the banks defence, Apple wants the cake and eat it. Apple makes the US/UK banks pay for marketing Apple Pay.

      If Apple model prevails, ie banks have to give Apple/Google/Samsung/whovever a portion of their profits, guess from whom the banks will claw back this "profit loss"? Us, the poor schmucks. And not just those using Apple Pay, everyone gets slugged, particularly non Apple users. More profit for the banks with the pretext of keeping one user group happy.

      Unless Apple agrees not to profit from Apple Pay (is that possible?), then there will be quite a wait for an Australian bank based deployment.

        Great post. Also, contactless card payments are much more prevalent here than in the US. Ultimately you could simply sellotape your paywave card to the back of your phone, and you would have most of the same functionality.

        Apple seem to presume that Aussie customers are clamouring so much for Apple pay that the banks will have to cave and give it to them. Unfortunately Australian banks are a cosy little oligopoly and have an ego to rival apple. Android pay will roll out earlier here, Apple have already climbed down sign ificantly from their initial offer and will have to climb down further still.

        I put blame on Apple on this.

        1) Apple have entered the Aust market thinking they can push people around on "the next big thing" like they did in the US. Different market, different dynamics, and Apple's arrogance means that they did not change tactics to suit and therefore failed.

        2) Apple are trying to extract the same fee % from Aust as the US. To be clear, it is % of the transaction, not % of the bank's fees. Aust banks receive a lot less in fees as a % of the transaction than US banks because of RBA regulations on merchant fees, and therefore understandably are very hesitant to pass what is pretty much double the % of their fees compared to US banks.

        3) Apple in the US are really pushing contactless payments. In Aust, the banks did all the heavy lifting with pushing contactless. All Apple are doing is shifting it to the phone. Again, the banks invested in contactless, and Apple still wants to have a cut of the fees.

        I also disagree with banks holding up the advancement of technology. I have worked in different countries (including the US) and I have found Aust banks to be very good with technology. Look at the likes of CBA and Westpac who have been pushing their own mobile contactless solutions for a while now (Westpac admittedly imperfect given its reliance on Samsung phones). True they don't work on Apple, but again that is because Apple have restricted access to NFC so the banks cannot roll out their own solution.
        Now that a viable and commercially acceptable alternative has popped up in Android Pay, look how many of the banks have jumped on board that one. True CBA and NAB have not, but then CBA has its own mobile solution for Android and NAB is about to release their own too - essentially anyone banking with any of the Big 4 plus a number of smaller banks will have mobile payments on their compatible Android phone soon. And Aust is scheduled to be either #2 or #3 launch jurisdiction as well.
        I cannot honestly agree with you that the banks here are holding up technology. In my opinion, they have gone out of their way to promote it, and I am not going to hold the banks responsible for Apple's ham-fisted strategy to take the cream off the bank's past efforts and investments.

      • furythree on 27/04/2016 - 22:49

        banks are rolling out android pay

        the issue was that it took ages for android to get its shit together for a unified solution, meanwhile samsung paid out of pocket to make sure their proprietary implementation worked

        Now the issue is that since the banks have tap and pay already implemented, android pay muddles things from an setup process. customers couldnt care less as tap and pay is the same

        but from a bank perspective everyone wants to route customers back to their own native apps for authentication. its a security and branding issue

        of course google would rather follow the simple apple pay route and just register straight through via their app

        so the contention is would you rather increase adoption via simplified and unified android tap and pay registration at the risk of tremendous fraud like Apple pay or have a hassle of linking back to authenticate but risk drop offs in customer registration

        Also people forget that apple pay literally allows credit card fraudsters to register a stolen card onto any iphone with no authentication that you own the card whatsoever. its a nightmare for fraud in the US

      I was able to add my ANZ AMEX after the 9.3.1 update, then after using it a few times I got a message saying that ANZ removed the card, now I can't add it again… so I assume its imminent.

      • cooni on 09/04/2016 - 10:56

        That's really good news. Did you try adding the Visa/MC as well?

        • Rusty4 on 11/04/2016 - 09:04

          I tried to add the Visa after the AMEX was removed, but it didn't work.

        It should do. I'm using an iPhone 5S with the Apple Watch. The 5S doesn't support Apple Pay but the Watch does and works fine. You just add the card in the watch app, rather than in the wallet app.

        • wtfnodeal on 09/04/2016 - 10:19

          5S doesn't support Apple Pay? I thought if there is a finger print reader it will support?

        • kelvinate on 09/04/2016 - 10:41

          @wtfnodeal:

          Apple pay requires an NFC chip installed in the device which the 5S does not have.

      Stick your AmEx card to the back of your phone, or if you use a case, slip it inside. Works like magic! Make sure you've upgraded to the latest iOS version.

    You don't need to do three separate shops. You can select 'split payment' on the Coles & Woolies self check out terminals and select credit as an option three different times and then simply tap each time with the same card. Unless they've changed the split payment, you've been able to use multiple CCs.
