I won't lie to you. When rumors began to spread in our region that we were beingonewill definitely come Apple Pay, I was very happy. Paying with cash has been increasingly annoying me lately, and although a credit card will largely solve this problem, it is still not a real deal. From time to time, you just want to go out with just your phone.onein your pocket, or with a watch on your wrist, and do not stuff your pockets with coins, paper bills or cards. It is in these cases that I would personally Apple Pay fell in love I hate from the bottom of my heart when I just want to go out with my friends in the summer, but I have to take at least a card with me so that I have a way to pay them. But since I'm not a fan of covers with a card pocket or I don't want to stick a payment sticker on my phone or cover, I usually put it in my pocket, which I then check throughout the evening to see if my card has accidentally fallen out.

You may be wondering why I got so fired up at the start. I will try to answer that too in a few lines. I got excited mainly because last night I lost hope that we would see this service soon. As I already wrote above, about the arrival Apple Pay there were rumors to the Czech Republic in connection with the summer months, most of all with August. And when else to announce this event than at the quarterly announcement of financial results, right?
All yesterday I was projecting in my head what headline I would use for the article about the arrival Apple Pay to the Czech Republic, because I simply believed that we were beingoneluck smiles at me. In the evening, after finishing writing an article about the numbers, I Apple last quarter, he squinted at the monitor for a live transcript of Tim's call Cookas investors and still somehow hoped that I would read it soon Apple Pay and the Czech Republic a few words later. The phrase "Apple Pay” I actually got to see in the live transcription, but I didn't like the word “Germany” that much anymore. Not that I wouldn't wish it for our neighbors, but simply because I wanted the country that would be among the next twenty or so countries supporting Apple Pay, was just ours. However, I didn't hang my head yet and watched the transcript for a few more minutes before admitting to myself that the topic Apple Pay already Cook will not return.
Sure, you'll never please everyone, especially with services like this. On the other hand, I don't think that we are such a small pond for us Apple overlooked in such a way. I will understand the absence of a Czech-speaking Siri, I will understand the absence HomeAccording to Apple Storu, because our resellers are at a very good level, but absence Apple Pay I simply can't get my head around it. If you look at various rankings of contactless payments, you will find that we are real champions. At the beginning of the year, for example, the iDnes portal reported that we are at the very top of the world in contactless payments, and only Australia is ahead of us. Of course, we have no competition in Europe at all. Simply put, everyone pays contactless. Young and old, poor and rich. By the way, answer yourself how often you prefer paying by card to paying in cash, or how you feel about a restaurant or shop that doesn't take cards. I bet you're thinking something like "they can't be serious, they've been chasing monkeys for a hundred years". But that's obviously not the case either. Applu nestachi.

Apple he is not alone in this
Of course, it would be a mistake to place all the blame on AppleIt is clear that he wants nothing in return for his service.chat to pay and the payer should be the banks that are involved in Apple Pay engages In that he may have Apple Pay a disadvantage compared to the competition. On the other hand, the fee is a kind of privacy tax, which Apple it also keeps its payment service under wraps, which is precisely the biggest difference between it and the competition. This is because it collects fees in a completely different way – with your payment data, etc. However, this coin also has another side. What if we look at it in such a way that the banks will still pay fees for using the service, but thanks to the fact that a much larger flow of money will flow through them, as people will have their iPhones or Apple Watch still with them and thus they will be able to pay with them, they will be very well off as a result and they will de facto not feel the fees?

There is probably no point in trying to figure out who is more to blame and who is most eager to launch the service in the banking market. We have already contacted the banks several times and the answer everyone gave could be summed up in one word – wait. And we will. But for how long? It is hard to say. However, if you asked me, as my friends also ask me about things regarding Applu, I would shrug my shoulders, lower my eyes and remain silent. I don't really believe in its early arrival anymore. Sure, we can expect its launch in a month or two. Won't it be a bit late? Or rather, we will of course pay for it, but many of us may have a certain bad taste and the thought "Why did we wait so long for something so simple?" So hopefully everything will turn around soon and we can get back tooneIf that is not the case, the words Appabout the availability of his products and services for the whole world, at least in my eyes, will become completely irrelevant. I will not buy anything from him here HomePod, I don't even talk to Czech speakers Siri and I won't even pay for "stupid" things in the store Apple Pay, whose imitation colleagues with Android phones are already cheerfully paying.
In short, a tax for the closedness of the system. A person is dependent on the will of one company.
I live in the UK, my credit cards are loaded in wallet. Debit and credit. Both from Barclays. And, when I'm in the Czech Republic, I normally pay contactless with my watch. I mean, wherever it goes. I don't like the fact that we are a contactless superpower, because it happens quite often to me that they don't take cards and contactless, pfff.. Here I can pay anywhere. Bus, metro, train, any street stall or even a small shop. As for public transport, it's a blast. No change, no ticket, just turnstiles everywhere, a yellow target on the bus and off I go.
Jeeeee, you're so smart...and what kind of bag are you carrying?
It was fun... With my 1,85m and 95Kg, I would have trampled you to the ground even without a purse, you anonymous hero... 😛 And as for "smartness", hold your nose and read slowly, preferably out loud, so you can absorb it 😉
In Děčín, you can also pay with a contactless card on the bus, so what's up 😂
And it's even 1/4 cheaper than when paying with coins.
You are comparing London with the whole of the Czech Republic. (London is a metropolis). I don't know if we are still first or second, but we will definitely still be in the TOP 3, UK will undoubtedly be doing well as a whole.
And what Cookand constantly bombarding questions about when it will be ApplePay, siri, Appstor in the Czech Republic? when did you get it?onecne begins to notice... I think that the contact on her is public and whole Apple the Cr community would overwhelm him :)
Good idea
I don't think that's the case at all. Cookwhere it will be and where it won't. They definitely have a whole special department for that, which determines the development and Tim does it maxI almost approve of it, but I definitely don't create it. Moreover, I think (although I don't like it at all) that Apple he does this on purpose and gradually damages the individual lands so that he can be destroyed as it constantly grows...
of course he doesn't write it, but maybe if there were a lot of questions, someone would notice it. It's worth a try
I think that the banks will wake up when people in the Czech Republic start to set up Revolut in large numbers and especially when Revolut has Apple Pay scattered.
And when will it break up?
and that's why I bought an android with google pay and Tim's group just doesn't bother me anymore... I'm fine - two blowouts, but fine
You solved it nicely, but I have it better, I have a contactless payment card in the package together with the iPhone :)
Personally, I would not want Google to control my financie
I also have to add a contribution…..
I've been living in Canada for over 2 years and from the beginning I thought that I wouldn't use it much anyway... But I have to admit that it's a good thing. Exactly as the author of the article writes, I just pick up the phone and don't worry about anything.... And I believe that everyone in Cr would definitely appreciate it.
There are instructions on the internet on how to get an Irish Boon card. I happily pay with the team here and everywhere in Europe, so I have "officially" arrived Apple Pay it doesn't bother me anymore, I've waited enough :-) Monthly fee for Boon 1,5€ and a limit of 1300€. WITH Apple Pay there is no need to enter a PIN for €20+ payments and it is much faster and more reliable than paying with contactless payment cards.
Boon is not available for the Czech Republic and appI saw it on their website only for Android.
Therefore, through an Irish account, or According to the instructions 😉
Boon is currently only available in:
Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy
and what is the advantage if you lose twice on the exchange rate?
I agree, me Apple stve and sw and thus he doesn't offer me anything at all and Mainly, I think he has already fallen asleep for a while.
This service will not be here. I work for a bank that owns Visa and they don't even consider this service. In short, we are cutting corners again
I don't think it's about that at all. Applu, but about the decision of our banks. We will have to accept that somewhere they have already understood it, our authorities are so advanced maxat least on the receipt =D
Our banks? So why do almost all banks in our country now work with Google? Pay on Android? Or did they even make their own implementation, see AirBank…
What are you dealing with?
Of course, it is logical that banks will lose a huge amount of information, which is the most valuable thing you can own today.
Applu It doesn't matter. Why get excited and fight over such a small pond.
I recommend opening a bank account in Germany or England, within 2 days you have a payment card at home (my own experience), and then there is no problem playing around and Apple Pay.
I don't know what keeps a Czech citizen in the Czech Republic.ance. I would be interested in the benefits.
For example, if you want a mortgage in the Czech Republic? I haven't had an account in a Czech bank for 6 years.ancand I'll probably have to set it up because of the above... Cheers...
Well, it doesn't look very good. I got a statement from the bank yesterday and it doesn't sound very positive. I quote:
"Good day,
Apple Pay is still not operational in the Czech Republic. All Czech banks are interested in this service and contacts with the company are ongoing, however, no decision has been made on this matter yet. Representatives Applu further service expansion mini"They don't plan to do so in the next 2-3 years."
The message is from Mbank at which Apple Pay it already works happily in Poland, so there is no question of the bank's displeasure. Probably on us boys from Cupertino from high …. :(
I would almost believe this post if it weren't for the crap at the end of "Representatives" Applu further service expansion mini"They don't plan to do so in the next 2-3 years." Apple is constantly expanding this service, and every six months a new country will be added. Next this is just an alarm message… again…
many "economically strong" countries are already in Europe does not stop and stretch the startup Apple Pay in 2-3 years in countries like AT, NL, B it's a bit sick...
I also use Boon, I pay with my mobile phone and watch and it's great, but it's just unofficial and I have to send money there. I also have Revolut set up, but I want you to get one Apple CR noticed more. That he is not here Siri, ApplePAy ani AppIt's not that we are a small country, just look around and there are many countries that are the same or even smaller. I still think that more inquiries about these services from the Czech Republic would help to get more attention Applu…
Revolut supports Apple Pay?
Tried Boon on Apple Watch and works great.. For smaller payments until se Apple it will make you wiser it's great..
It also works fine for €50 payments. I haven't tried more yet. The monthly limit is €1300.
Irish Boon was blocked this afternoon, I'm waiting for their statement. Otherwise it worked perfectly so far...
Me too today. Do you have any info yet?
I wonder if it already works Apple Pay in Poland, so if there is an easier and free option to use Apple Pay for example through their mBank (or other banks). Has anyone tried this? Primarily, it is an online subsidization of the account without the need for (paid) SEPA payments.
So how about making a petition or Apple start massively flooding emails and inquiries so they start noticing.
Well, I really don't know how it is with the world spica with card payments, I didn't check it, but in Norway, for example, you could only pay by card, and even every single beer in a pub. They looked at the cash payment with wonder. So I think we are definitely not that far. How many times it happens to me in Prague - "you know, we don't like to take cards, because they are expensive..."
If what is in the title of the article is true, then the century ends this year :-)
?🤔🤩
Hey, late Apple it's really late, it's been a long time since the Droid hated by the majority of Apple companies. Too bad for Apple even if it's actually up his ass.
But I don't understand people, what bothers them to go out with a card:
1. the citizen's card is also a card and you must carry it with you ALWAYS! mostly in the wallet, so one has everything else there too….
2. It can be solved with a cover that is also for cards.
PS: yes, and I'm also an iOvce, in case someone starts following up because of the mention of a droid... :-) NO HATE :-)
I guess. I live in South Tyrol and have an account with Sparkasse where Apple pay it works. However, it is incredibly complicated to issue the one correct working payment card, it is much easier to use the other cards even without Apple Pay :-D
You don't have to have your citizenship with you
1) This is a widespread misconception, you don't need to carry any ID with you for a long time. That paid for a mosquito.
2) I don't like such opening covers where there is also room for cards
yes and me rather than Apple pay It's annoying that SIRI doesn't speak Czech :-(
Well, I'm waiting for that too, but what can I do - wellchat I won't commit suicide because of this.
Pro Apple is the Czech Republic third world, Tim Cook He doesn't even know where the Czech Republic is, he thinks it's probably in Asia.
On the iPhone 6s, I have a payment sticker on the bottom of the back and a cover on it, wherever possible I pay with that.
It's super.
Let it be Apple he jerks his leg, the Czech Republic is pooing at us from a high place……
What to buy a watch with wear os and pay only with them? Haven't you thought of that? It's just as convenient and I've been using it this way for some time now.
I was at ČSOB yesterday and according to the banker, ČSOB has already agreed with Applem to start. They just didn't publish it anywhere yet and she didn't know the actual launch date.
and was the lady banker just the lady behind the counter or a private banker? in any case, it is interesting that this information, if it is true, was released, since the bank with Apple she must have signed a non-disclosure agreement
Exactly as it says in the article. I am a new user Apple after years on Android, but I didn't expect such low flexibility from a company that brags about the "availability" of its products. I guess I made a mistake, I'm starting to realize it, and with every other "forgetting" about SK and CZ on the part of Apple, the thought of returning to Android pops up in my head more and more, where everything new is somehow implemented faster in our markets as well. If Google knows and Apple he's obviously sick of it, leave your teeth intact Apple he will go for his superiority..
From a good source that I develop things in bancI know that from November 1.11.2018, XNUMX, it will be Apple Pay in operation in Czech banks. Savings bank, Moneta and mBank should launch it from November 1.11st.
We have read this many times already :-(
Today is 1.11.2018/XNUMX/XNUMX, where is he Apple pay?
