Apple Pay could launch in SA soon

Apple Pay may be launching soon in South Africa, with a number of local banks indicating incoming support for the payment platform through information on their websites and banking apps.
 
It works but not always... best to keep your card handy.
 
I’ve used my Garmin Fenix 6 (“Garmin Pay”) for all POS payments during the last year and a bit. No issues it just works. Tap watch and go.

While Apple Pay is late to the party I’m sure it will be very useful. Great feature

I tried but failed hard. Hopefully up and running by next week.
 
Meh, more power to the Silicon Valley Titans.
 
I guess we will see? There has been speculation for years now but it does make sense with small banks due to cost.

If it does happen maybe it will spur FNB on to introduce it.
 
How many payment solutions do we need?
very soon even a 32Gb phone won't be enough to store all the banking, payment and store apps.

Same, I got rid of my Apple Watch so that I can have the Garmin Pay and now I've gotten rid of my iPhone as well because really, Apple is slacking behind.

Um, explain to me how this is different from the NFC based payments I have been doing with my FNB app and my android phone for the past 6 months?

Do you need to unlock your phone to use the app?
