It's almost unbelievable, but since the launch of support Apple Pay in the Czech Republic, it has been 5 long years since the beginning of this week. The launch took place on February 19, 2019 in the early morning hours, after a number of indications indicated that this should indeed happen. And since it was a big deal at the time, if not the biggest one that Czech apple growers have ever done in modern history, Applu experienced, it is fitting to remember this day at least briefly.

While currently already support Apple Pay offers practically all banks and financial services, this was definitely not the case on February 19, 2019. At that time, only Twisto launched it (which, by the way, was the first to announce the launch of the service on the Czech market), MONEPUSHoney Bank, Komerční banka, Česká spořitelna (but only for VISA cards at that time), mBank, AirBank, J&T Bank and Edenred – Ticket Restaurant® and Edenred Benefits. For example, for such ČSOB, Jablíčka residents had to wait until November 5 of the same year, while at first only Master support was availablecard cards. It is therefore not surprising that the banking sector was criticized for its lax approach to Apple Pay pretty harsh criticism.
Despite the absence of some banks in the "first round", there was a start Apple Pay really massive in the Czech Republic. After the first days of launching the service, banks reported tens of thousands of registered cards together with large volumes of payments that Apple Pay they went However, the result was nothing to be surprised about - just about everyone wanted to try the novelty. Now we take it for granted, which many of us use every day both on iPhone and on Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
On the 5th birthday Apple Pay in the Czech Republic, not only we remember, but also Commercial Bank, who posted some pretty interesting statistics on her X account about just Apple Pay used by its clients. In them, she revealed, for example, that through Apple Pay over 200 million transactions have already been carried out, which is the responsibility of more than 300 thousand KB clients using this particular service. These users spend the most on food, for which only over Apple Pay they spent almost 5 billion crowns in 19 years. 85% of all payments were made in brick-and-mortar stores, and the highest purchase for almost 600 crowns was made in a Chanel store. And how do you perceive Apple Pay you?
That day I immediately put it in
Ip and aw. And I didn't try to buy with it :-D so I can try it and I only pay via pay. Like withdrawing from an ATM
Where are the times when I was one of the first pilots in the Czech Republic. I'm still in favor then Apple in EN he signed a non-disclosure agreement with the NDA.
And I won't forget one payment at KFC, when I paid with a watch and the attendant, is that possible? This is not possible and two people subsequently checked the receipt. Now everyone has it (nostalgically, unfortunately).
And now another fairy tale.
And then the whole tram clapped. 😂
The boys are untrustworthy, I have no reason to make things up. BTW it was a launch Apple Pay in Czech republic.

As for KFC, unfortunately I have no way of proving that unless a specific employee reads it.ancfrom that branch too.
Here again, someone is fantasizing a lot...
Well, for example, in our country BillAt that time, paying with a mobile phone was already normal, but when I bought an AW3 and paid for a purchase with it for the first time, the cashier 😳 did it work with a watch? Yes, it does 😉
In a small town, they hid money in a cash machine when paying by card or mobile phone terminal They say it will break their phone, that it's only for cards...
It's too late already 🤗
