While Czech apple growers are already paid via Apple Pay have been using since mid-February, Slovak apple growers are still waiting for its official launch. The local banks confirm his early arrival, but they are tight-lipped on the exact date. However, our Slovak source told us today that the service will start in the country at the end of June. And since this month has been speculated about in the past weeks, it seems more and more likely.
It's that simple Apple Pay activates:

Unfortunately, our source does not know the exact date, as it was not mentioned in the email communication, but theoretically it could be announced tomorrow. WWDC. It was at this event that Apple in the past has announced the expansion of some of its services to new countries and as it is Apple Pay one of the most important services of this Californian giant, he could easily devote part of the presentation to it.

Many questions
As for support Apple Pay with individual Slovak banks, question marks still hang over it. According to However, social networks can be expected miniThere is currently support from Tatra banka, Slovenská spořitelna and N26, but there is also speculation about Poštovní banka, mBank, 365 banka and J&T Banka. However, it is difficult to say how many of them areonec found s Applem common language and they managed to get into the first wave of banks that will be proud of their support.

Many users counted on that to start Apple Pay in Slovakia it will happen at the same time as the Czech Republic or just a few weeks after it. Just before the arrival of Czech Apple Pay however, rumors began to spread that Slovak banks have not yet found s Applem speech and the launch is thus postponed indefinitely. Subsequently, several "guaranteed" launch dates appeared, but none of them turned out to be realistic. Hopefully the sources are not wrong this time and Apple Pay soon our brothers will officially enjoy it in their homeland.

Misa, I wrote two emails to Prima banka and always got the same answer from them: thank you for your interest in the service Apple Pay.
We would like to inform you that the bank currently offers a service Apple Pay does not support However, we are intensively analyzing the possibilities of using this service for our clients as well.
We will inform clients about the possibility of using the service.

I don't believe in anything anymore, I feel like I'm on an island. Everyone already has them around Apple Pay.
I'm starting to feel sore up to my neck Apple with that their Pay. I don't even know if I really want him anymore.
Of course you want him, but alas apple well If you have a watch, you will be completely happy when you don't have to carry your wallet
I managed to launch SLSP Visa when changing the region to the Czech Republic.
Great.

I don't understand why it has to Apple to drag on so unnecessarily, however, only loses commissions from payments.
It is not known who is pulling it. But it sucks for me too.
I agree, I'm also pretty angry and in my opinion our banks are to blame.. + some alleged legislative problems
Mo doesn't stretch apple but banks, as for each transaction carried out through Apple Pay they must Applu pay and they don't like that and negotiate the lowest possible price, we are talking about big money,Apple charges approx. 1.5% with each payment made with their devices. Which is enough.
1,5% of every payment is cool.... because everyone will pay up to €20 ... and €1,50 is fine for the bank considering the amount of money they charge for services. I don't know if you have heard about SMS charges. So how do they let me pay when I can pay for SMS and I know that push pushes it to the push notification, but if I'm abroad outside the EU and I don't have data, I'd like to know about the movement of money.
It's not 1,5% but maybe 1.5 per thousand. Banks also pay around €1,5 for card activation in Apple Pay
So the service usually starts on Tuesday, so the assumption is 25.6, the Tuesday before is 18.6 and the Tuesday after is 2.7, so we'll see
I already pay via apple pay pretty long :D I'm Slovak and I'm in Slovakia :D
Sure, but not officially. There are more of them.
For example, I also use the Czech mbank... so far it's much better than the classic card :)
I think boon is a better solution (I use it) than changing tastes CZK to € and vice versa. Only that you have an account in €
Are there other payment options like Apple Pay 😀
Of course they are. Cash, barter, debit card, credit card, checks... :) and others
Thanks to letemsvetem for the positive article :) It's a shame that it's with us apple pay it didn't start right away in the Czech Republic, and the start is very difficult here.. Hopefully I will be supported by all the banks, as far as I know, Unicredit and OTP Banka should also join.. The end of the month is still quite far, I hope for the 3rd of June :D
In my opinion, the banks and their reluctance to part with the commission are to blame. Banks in other countries don't have a problem with this, but Slovakia is the biggest navel in the world, so we'll give it a try too Apple. But the more important thing is that the banks don't care at all about the clients. Even so, they are just sheep, they will eat us that the problem is somewhere else, preferably in America or Russia or in space.
I had the situation that I managed to add a Revolu VISA card to Apple wallet (when I had the CZ region set). Although I currently have the SK region and Revolu has blocked the use Apple Pay in unsupported countries, it still works for me and it's great! Let it be official with us.
revolut does not block usage apple pay in unsupported countries... in the revolut profile, I change the address to any Czech, create a card and in iphone I set the region to the Czech Republic and that's it, apple pay I use it, a physical card is not necessary at all...
Payment tokens started being taken away from some people who activated their AP in unsupported countries in this way. See the Revolut subreddit.
nonsense, Revolut is about travel, so if someone is in Slovakia, they must be able to pay with Revolut, it is not a violation of the terms of service
It's not stupid, I had it solved like that and they took away my z token Wallet
token what do you mean virtual card?
That's exactly how Revolut took my card away Wallet when they found out that I registered with a Slovak address.
the problem is that you have changed the region v ios… the revolut totiz controls region v iphone, the address doesn't matter...
How about Unicredit. It is a branch of a Czech bank (of course, an Italian bank, but a Czech one :-)) and already in the Czech Republic Apple Pay it works. I hope it won't take them as long as other advanced products.
Launch date Apple Pay they depend 99% on the banks that I want to implement. Otherwise, to put it simply, it's primarily about money. Isn't it about banks? :-)
