Although it officially arrived in the Czech Republic Apple Pay already on February 19 of this year, all domestic banks still do not offer it. However, it is absolutely surprising that ČSOB is still among the banks that do not offer support for the Apple payment service, i.e. the second largest domestic bank in terms of number of clients and the first in terms of balance sheet total. It is absolutely no wonder the harsh criticism that has been leveled at her account since its launch Apple Pay rolling However, the criticism will stop in a few days.

In the summer, we informed you that as of November 1st, ČSOB is changing its terms and conditions, in which it will remember mobile payment services, from which not only we, but also many of you concluded that it would start on this very day at the same time Apple Pay work. Today, however, we managed to obtain an email communication from a very confidential source (whose job status we cannot disclose to her) directly from ČSOB, which reveals that the bank is counting on launching on Tuesday, November 5. The bank will therefore adhere to a kind of unwritten rule about launching on Tuesdays, since it was on this day that the vast majority of domestic banks introduced the Apple payment service. ČSOB has even placed Wallet terms and conditions that may pop up when you scan this bank's card.
It is very interesting that an internal document intended for higher-ranking employeesancČSOB only started expanding the service this morning. It is therefore quite likely that even the bank itself had no idea until almost the last moment when exactly the service would be launched and therefore could not provide its clients with a satisfactory answer to their numerous questions. However, it will not provide you with one now, as it is of course subject to a strict information embargo that will end on the launch day – i.e. next Tuesday.

As for the exact time of the service launch, it will most likely be set for early morning or even midnight, as was the case with other banks. It is possible that the bank will launch the service at 8 am along with the opening of its branches, but the probability of such a step is very small. So if you are a ČSOB client, you can start counting down the last days and chilling the champagne. An incredible thing is happening.onewill become a reality.
Thanks to our source JK for the information
Late. I already have an account with a more capable bank.
Does anyone care about this bank at all? Hopefully the news server will not step aside again.
Maybe me. I use their premium account and am very happy with it. But the truth is that in connection with Apple Pay I will continue to use a competing credit card that gives refunds. However, I am glad that there is an option tooneIt will be fine too.
I also use ČSOB Premium and I am absolutely satisfied with this account. For Apple Pay I use Twisto and pay with a ČSOB credit card. An excellent and proven combination of services.
Peter: Exactly. Of course, I am not saying that it is the best and only product in the world. It's still good to sort it out and use the competition as well, but then again, the folklore of the old bank type sucks and the new "Internet" ones are better in everything is also not true.
And Equabank still nothing..
You have x different banks here and interesting options such as Revolut, so what are you solving fairy tales for?
Exactly! I have Fio and before they changed, I set up Revolut and satisfaction :-) and I canceled the account with ČSOB during the holidays...
equabank wrote on the official fb that it will be in the fall.. I am guessing probably November.. I also asked like many other people.. I also use this bank, it is great and everything works, including all ATMs and I don't need a premium :)
I'm curious whether the scutage will also concern Slovak ČSOB. Do you have any information on whether this will happen?
Thanks.
I was told by ČSOB that they should not launch it until next year, so we'll see
a friend told me that whatever the Czech side does, they will do the same
I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you know how ApplePay works, so I have doubts that the Czech Republic and Slovakia have a completely identical solution for cards. I'm guessing that it won't be 95% the same. They already have it in conditions like the Czech Republic
that's right, even though they have the same mother, each daughter behaves differently (at least taking into account the law of the given state) - because if not, CSOB, as a daughter of KBC, was among the first to make it possible ;-)
ČSOB in SK has the same payment core, but that's about it. I would definitely count on next year. ;-)
Well, obviously more people complained about ČSOB :-) On October 16.10.2019, XNUMX, ČSOB answered my question about when AP would launch... "Launch of X- servicespay (Apple payGoogle pay,…) is scheduled foronec this year.
They've been writing this off to everyone for about half a year. See for example their FB :-)
Well, tooneyes! Apple Pay I've been using it (mostly in my watch) since February with mBank and KB and it annoys me that I have to transfer money from ČSOB (where my pension goes). It's not such a problem, but it's still a spring. I would still like Equabank.
I look forward to.
well TVL – I just envy you and hope that as a debtor I will also be able to settle my debt in 4 banks ;-)
well, you're right.. and still paying on the watch.. :) if the master gives it, we'll give it too !!
I was dealing with something similar with RB. They weren't in the first wave (which really annoyed me) so I started using Air bank and I will no longer pay with RB. I have it loaded on both my phone and my watch, but just to be safe.
Csob is now the most tragic bank, recently it was Ceska Sporitelna, but what George did, it came back into the game, albeit on the tail. But Revolut and Airbank best combination.
Info: CSOB launch Apple Pay 5.11. only for MASTER card holders, not VISA card. VISA does not know the date
VISA is not even with the last 2 banks that started it recently. It looks more like a problem with VISA than with the bank...
If this year is not Google play at ČSOB, so I'm leaving for good after 10 years. The Shopping app is really terrible.
So it's 4.11. and no communication from ČSOB 😁 This is really a comedy...
5.11 and nothing happens 😭
That's power, it can't be done. Hello, it's the 21st century...
So at 7:30 it still doesn't work. We'll see when they wake up and start working, whether they'll surprise you. Very coolancBut I don't give a damn.
Konetsk!!!
But it only works for Master cardscard :((
