What about Czech Equa, does anyone have any info?
There are already blank user help documents on their site applepay.
That's the auditors from Apple they probably granted leave in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and certified a couple of banks along the way. 🤣

these banks came very late with it, most people wanted it Apple Pay use the password Air Bank, Revolut or Twisto.
Fio is good for me, but I already have Twisto and satisfaction as my primary card.
Yep, exactly.
ČSOB is still sleeping and I switched to Revolut a long time ago because of that... their fault, the competition, unlike them, is not sleeping...
Raifka only supports MasterCard, so no glory and VISA card holders are out of luck..
