If I'm not mistaken samsung devices can send out a magnetic field to which it can be used on traditional magnetic card swipe scanners. Apple pay needs a tag to pay and not all of the stores has those. Our technology isn't ready yet.I see Samsung Pay is gaining good traction in SA? Any idea when we’ll get Apple in SA?

FNB pay has been available for 2 years.Sorry yes meant nfc receiver. Give it another 2 years before it would come. Im still oftenly seeing older generation card machines. Samsung pay just has much better support here at the moment
Because FNB is based in south africa. Apple pay is international. It would take time for them to notice that we need it.FNB pay has been available for 2 years.

On that note, I've never actually gotten it to work.
On Android or IOS? works great on my P10 plus.
Works perfectly fine on S7It can't work for iOS because Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to use the NFC chip.
I tried FNB pay on two Samsungs I've owned.

Make sure your NFC is on, mine tends to turn off every now and then.It can't work for iOS because Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to use the NFC chip.

So there is a work around that you can use Apple Pay here in SA already. If u need assistance ask me. It is up to the banks. All mobile payment systems take a cut... so I’m sure with Samsung being the first Apple will follow soon.I see Samsung Pay is gaining good traction in SA? Any idea when we’ll get Apple in SA?

My only question is, why is there even an option to turn the NFC on / off?
