Seriously the support side of things wouldn't be that much different to supporting some one using their bank card on the terminal the only exception is they must use a finger to authorize payment the other steps will be the exact same for any NFC user

Just place your card on the terminal to make payment oh your using an iphone okay just place your iPhone on the terminal to make payment

*slaps forehead*

Your completely missing the point and I wish apple did create their own systems because apple is flying on the standards that MasterCard and visa have made and selling it as their own

Everyone in the us is praising apple pay for bring new and innovative where that is simply not true

Just because your banks are slow at adopting NFC doesn't mean apple invented it

Here in Australia almost every retailer here has NFC and that was before apple pay became a thing

Apple pay is purely marketing at its best retailers can't support it directly in their merchant systems they can only support paypass or pay wave

So why is it so wrong to simply say the truth retailers are adding support for EMV paypass and paywave transaction

No retailer can add apple pay support to their terminal it doesn't exidist
