Yup. There's no option to add cards after the update.

The add options only come in when you change the region and even then when you add a SA bank card it doesn't work.

Weird my phone tonight now shows the + button on the Apple Pay app, gonna go update some other phones i have got to ios 14.4 iPhone 12 Pro and 11 Pro and i think a iPhone X see what they do.

 

[Roo!]

That was the case in Australia but it’s different here. Discovery Bank for example are literally waiting for Apple to flip the switch. This is going off the call I had with them, DMs with them and a person that I know that works within Discovery Bank. I don’t have a source in Nedbank but they also seem to be waiting for Apple because their app already has Apple Pay integration.

Actually, there was substantial work done at Discovery Bank to integrate with the Apple Pay APIs and Payment Rails! It's not just a flip of a switch, you have to pass certification first and that means compliance.

Ive tried googling "Apple Pay South Africa" and nothing.. not a single person or site mentioning it.. my nerves are finished.. on top of that my iPhone 12 Pro is on back order too...! So really feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas.

I have this nasty feeling we are a lot further from launch than we’d like to believe.

Especially if you see how long apple pay rollout is taking in Mexico even with announcements of apple pay

Here is a great article explaining the complexities behind Apple Pay and how it works.

What happens behind the scenes when you add your credit card to Apple Pay, and when you pay using Apple Pay through your iPhone…
