What I have also noted was both voucher and payment on phone.

So first scan the voucher on the app.
Then open the banking app to pay.

Why would you open the banking app to pay? You people do some weird stuff.

Checkers60 I've already scanned the code off my screen while the till is still pumping out the invoice so absolutely zero time lost there.

Takes a second for me to unlock my phone using a finger print whilst the cashier is still getting my stuff ready, wait for the machine, tap and done. It takes longer to take the card out of my wallet. No need to open any apps etc.

And even longer for cash
 
Phone tap. the fastest way by far for me. I'm fingerprinted and ready before the machine, I tap and go.

With card tap it asks for a pin if over R500. Wasting precious seconds, and enraging the MyBBers in the queue behind me.

I struggle with the pattern, the pin will be even worse to enter, and still can get shoulder surfed
I mean if they could put in a fingerprint reader on the watch that would be brilliant.

I only have to enter it once at home in the evening after charging or my phone unlocks it automatically.

when you tap to pay, you have to set a pattern or pin,
it literally wont allow you to use the feature without one being set up,

so the pattern is sometimes a bit tricky to enter on such a tiny screen

But surely your device is already unlocked before hand when you first put it on?

But this is exactly why it should only
Ever happen when it was taken off. Not every time you want to use it.

And yet people want to convince me to use Android shite.
 
Apple Pay for payment and Supercards App for all the loyalty cards...

however with Spar it doesnt work because spar is useless so give your phone number at spar
And PnP you have to type in the longer number because not all pick n pay can scan the card.

But everywhere else it works, clicks, woolworths, checkers, shoprite, makro, bp, ok, lego store, dischem etc etc.

Now if only we can have digital id and driver licenses, because then i really wont need my wallet.

And at my company i can tap to enter too, replaced their rfid cards. Yip Apple does support them too.

So on apple pay, double tap on side, smile and tap to pay. its instant. you can add cards from your banking app. and pay for temu, takealot, apple, bobshop etc, is simple check out to pay and pay by apple pay, double tap, smile and pay. Ive used it globally and it was a total breeze everywhere. Visa Infinite/Amex Platinum/Standard Bank Virtual card, etc as easy as pie. Lounge entry, trains, busses, taxis, shops etc.

If youre on samsung pay or the bank pay apps, it honestly sucks and causes delays. yes you have to open the app, then go from there to pay. And then wait and so on. Explains why soo little Samsung pay users outside of Korea, and same with some of the dumb banking apps. yes with standard you first have to sign in, then go to the payment option etc.

With Apple, even opening the banking app is smile and it unlocks. ok no smiling but face recognition. instant.

And yes we tried it on our one space s26 ultra and it was a total nightmare with the latest software.

So yes dont bother unless youre on apple pay. It just works....easier. and yes it keeps track of all the payment nofications and with which card on apple pay.

Oh, so you mean it's technologically challenged people who don't know how to use it properly. Guess that's fair.

Takes me literally like 2 seconds to tap with my phone or watch, and I'm normally waiting for the machine and not the other way around.

Sounds like they paid by logging into their banking app to pay. those are total nightmares.
