Dick Running iOS 13? :P

Lezz

LvH I’m running iOS 13 and it still works

LH-Black-Wolf

Lezz Aye it does, but as iOS 13 can show bugs out of the blue - it’s good to keep that in mind when on beta :)

Lezz

Seems like they maybe making some progress in the Netherlands? Before I had to use the region switch to activate Apple Pay but tonight my iPad greeted me with a Dutch prompt asking me if I would like to add my card...

Double checked on my Apple Watch. Same deal 😋. The Apple earnings call is tonight and sometimes they slip some Apple Pay related news in... fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Sander

Lezz ING launched Apple Pay in The Netherlands, so it makes sense you can now activate with region settings to the Netherlands as it is now an active Apple Pay country (just not yet for bunq). 🙂

Might be a glitch in the matrix, actually adding (manually, as only ING is offered), iT still gives an error.

Lezz

Ralf Hmmm maybe they relaxed the restriction to activating ‘other’ region cards like my Italian card on an iPhone set to Dutch. Before I had to match my phone region to the card region to get it to activate.

Lezz Maybe for activating via the bunk app, but for adding cards manually in Wallet, I don't believe it has ever mattered which region you selected, as long as it was an Apple Pay country. That is why it now works that much easier in the Netherlands, seeing as it is an Apple Pay country since ING's launch on 11 June this year.

Just as an info: With my bunq Maestro through German Apple Pay I was able to pay in-app yesterday. Showed up like a web transaction in the transaction overview, and it worked out fine. Maybe that's because I tried a new store (Lieferando / Thuisbezorgd app - they just added Apple Pay support), but in the past I was never able to use the Maestro for online or in-app purchases, only the Mastercard.

LH-Black-Wolf

Jakob Using maestro online has been made possible in the past one to one and a half month or so and is awesome :) Thuisbezorgd, CoolBlue, multiple websites that integrate Apple Pay, etc. For me it’s so much better than iDeal, really happy with it and can’t wait for more sites and apps to support it. Amazon being high on the wishlist heh.

Hoe zit het met de ondersteuning van Apple Pay voor de Travelcard van bunq? Er werd gecommuniceerd dat dit tegen het einde van juli zou komen. Ondertussen is het augustus en er is niks meer gezegd hierover? Ik begrijp goed dat iedereen erg z’n best doet hierop maar wat is de nieuwe stand van zaken? Volgens mij zijn we allemaal heel benieuwd!

Hi 👋 Martijn

A message that was posted yesterday in the Travel Card topic. Keep in mind it was always an estimated date:

Raul Hey bunqers! 👋

Update about Apple Pay on this July 31st. It will be available soon.

Our team is working hard to make this happen as soon as possible. We'll just have to wait a bit longer until we can share any updates over this.

Have a great day! 🌈

May this be the begin of other Dutch banks supporting Apple Pay 🍏?

Vasil

Jos That means literally nothing.

There’s code for the Apple Pay functionality in the Bunq app for ages now as well. The question is when that functionality is going to be enabled.

Marcel-Blue-Jaguar

Jos Which Bank will be second after ING? I always expect Bunq to support NL Apple Pay as first dutch bank. What happend Bunq?

Jos-Golden-Unicorn

Vasil But bunq uses Apple Pay.......

vampjon

Vasil Except that ABN and many Dutch banks had for a long time never admitted that they had any plans to support Apple Pay, so it’s good to know that is changing!

Vasil

Jos Yeah, and ABN will as well, eventually. After the ING exclusivity period has ended.

Mesoforte-Yellow-Lynx

Vasil Kan er niet iemand van bunq verklappen wanner we eindelijk Apple pay ‘legaal’ kunnen gaan gebruiken? Dat zou voor mij een reden zijn om m’n bunq account te upgraden

WJanson

Mesoforte Als jij voor die gene het forse bedrag betaald voor het breken van de NDA 😛

Vasil

Mesoforte Zou het niet verwachten. 🙈
