Apple Pay becomes available in Germany

Currently, Apple's payment technology, Apple Pay, is available in more than 30 countries, many of them European, but among which was not Germany, a country that has always been one of the first to receive new products. Apple, much earlier than in other countries, such as Spain, where coincidentally We have been enjoying Apple Pay for almost two years.

Finally, it seems that Germany will be the next country that will finally be able to enjoy Apple Pay to make day-to-day purchases through your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad or through Safari. Apple has begun to send emails to all its customers announcing the launch of Apple Pay in the country, being HVB and Bunq the two banks that will offer them initially.

For a long time there has been speculation about what could be the reasons why Apple was not yet present in the country. The reasons are always the same: the percentage that Apple keeps from the transaction, a percentage that the German banks were not willing to give up. We do not know if Apple has reduced that commission or if on the contrary, both HVB like Bung have been the first to accept them.

For now, on the German Apple Pay website, no information about the day concrete in which this technology will finally be available throughout the country, but taking into account that Apple usually announces it from one day to the next, it would not be strange to see how it is operational tomorrow.

Currently, the countries where Apple Pay is available They are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Isle of Man, Guirney, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Norway, New Zealand, Russia, Poland, San Marino, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland , Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States and Vatican City.
