    Apple Pay South Africa

    Interesting, will take a look! 10 minutes ago, my cheque card was also removed from Apple Pay -- sounds like things are still changing behind the scenes or some batch job is being run.

    Apple Pay South Africa

    So a few hours ago, Standard Bank removed my credit card from Apple Pay on both my iPhone and Apple Watch; I then received this SMS: Has anyone else experienced this recently? I definitely didn't make any requests on my side. I haven't been able to get hold of them on that phone number yet but...

    Cheapest way to buy online internationally

    The Shyft fee change is disappointing. I'd have expected the Mastercard international interchange fee to be significant enough that such a fee would not be warranted.

    iMessage activation issue

    I've been experiencing this exact issue, to a T. Extremely frustrating that we're basically helpless here. Hoping Vodacom fixes this soon, as @iEverything had mentioned they're at least aware of their problem.

    Reserve Bank wants to unveil South Africa-only bank card to take on Visa and Mastercard

    How would fraud protection work for something like this? Visa, MasterCard, etc. have very strict terms they impose on banks, requiring them to provide specific and strong consumer protections, in order to keep on issuing Visa / MasterCard cards. I can't say I'm too optimistic on trusting the SA...
