Read yesterday that Malaysia's the leading country globally in terms of e-wallet/cashless transaction adoption with over 63% of Malaysians using them over cash. This does not surprise me honestly since I myself have not used cash (in Malaysia) 99% of the time for years now, and have not used any of my cards (physically) 90% of the time since 2 years ago when #ApplePay was made available here.
Almost everyone around me too are the same, preferring any of the available #NFC payment methods like #GooglePay and #SamsungPay (which have been around for many years longer here than Apple Pay) when available, or fallback to #DuitNow (QR Pay) through any of the available #eWallet apps like #TNGeWallet or just about any of the first-party #bank apps like #MAE for #Maybank users or #CIMBClicks for #CIMB users.
Almost all shops from your local market and roadside stalls to restaurants or any stores in a shopping mall would at least support QR Pay should they not also have a bank card terminal (for NFC payments). Even my local laundromat and roadside car wash place accept QR Pay for a long while now, instead of how it was in the past constantly having to find change or stock some cash up in your wallet. This was my experience not just in KL/Klang Valley (the city), but also in other rural places throughout the peninsular.
Heck, should you need to, you don't even need your bank card to take out money from an ATM - you only need your phone to do that. My wallet's only filled with foreign money, otherwise I'd only have cash in my possession once~twice a year to give Angpow or Duit Raya. Some government/public facilities I've been to don't even accept cash anymore. I think people just hate having to withdraw cash so often or have change lying around. I suspect this thing is no different in most other #SEA countries, seeing the growing number of countries where Malaysia's DuitNow QR Pay is compatible with - its counterparts.
Paris: Echtzeit-Informationen für Metro- und ÖPNV-Tickets in Apple-Wallet
Ab sofort gibt es für Paris in der Karten-App Echtzeitdaten der Metro, RER, Pariser Strassenbahn und RATP-Busse. Eine fantastische neue Funktion. Die Apple Karten-App zusammen mit einer Navigation per ÖPNV zum Zielort könnte nicht einfacher sein. Mit einer Apple Watch am Arm sind Abbiegehinweise und Inf…
Kann es sein, dass die ING derzeit Probleme mit Visa hat?
Es werden weder in der App noch im Web die zugehörigen Karten angezeigt.
Apple Pay funktioniert nicht.
Hatte erst iOS17.4 im Verdacht, allerdings funktioniert Apple Pay mit der Sparkasse problemlos.
Apple öffnet NFC-Funktion: gute Aussichten für TWINT
Die im iPhone eingebaute NFC-Schnittstelle öffnet einige Türen für spannende und nützliche Funktionen. Per NFC können Kurzbefehle gestartet werden. Mit CarKey lassen sich Autos öffnen und schliessen und mit Apple Pay können Zahlungen an Zahlungsterminals getätigt werden. Letzteres, also die Zahlung mit einer in Apple Wallet hinterlegten Kre…
Apple lenkt im Streit mit der EU-Kommission über seinen Bezahldienst Apple Pay ein. Der Konzern will künftig anderen Anbietern direkten Zugang zu seinen Geräten für kontaktloses Bezahlen gewähren.
What is going on with Apple Pay and credit card expiration dates? Apple has been treating some customers’ credit cards as expired when that is not the case. I wonder if this is related to having old cards on file or 2-digit vs 4-digit years.
#GooglePay needs #Maybank support, and #ApplePay needs #CIMB support. Do they have some sort of exclusivity deal cos that'd be ridiculous - last I checked the banks/cards supported by each of them don't cross each other.
@b0rk Pro tip: If you want to use #ApplePay with the discount code, don’t select the Pay button on the shopping cart page. Instead, select “Check Out,” enter the discount code, and then select Pay under “Express checkout.”
It happened with the mail; it may happen soon with money.
We welcome the political agreement reached by the EU Council and the European Parliament on our proposal to make instant payments in euros available to all #EU citizens and businesses at no extra cost.
The new rules will also increase trust in #euro instant payments and make sanctions screening more efficient.
Wer einen Geldbetrag in Sekundenschnelle an einen Empfänger per Banküberweisung senden möchte, soll dies künftig kostenlos tun können. Darauf haben sich EU-Staaten und das Europaparlament geeinigt.
@tagesschau
Finde ich super.
Endlich eine kostenlose und gleichzeitig datenschutzfreundliche Alternative für schnellen Geldtransfer. Der Versuch mit #paydirekt bzw. #giropay eine europäische(?) Alternative zu #PayPal, #googlepay und #applepay brachte ja nicht den Durchbruch und der #Datenschutz wurde auch weiter ausgehölt.
🤣😂🤣 #ElonMusk wants me to replace my bank with #X / #Twitter, the latter tolerates terrorists & Nazis‽
For years I have used #ApplePay & #PayPal for transactions, & I do not trust them to be my bank. Why would I give over my money to a company who tolerates psychos‽
Wow the #ODEONCinemas app / website is shockingly bad!
Haven’t got an email receipt but fortunately have got a screenshot of the QR code. Won’t allow sign ups. Fails with #ApplePay & doesn’t add to apple wallet. Any proper cross-platform testing ever happened? #Firefox#iPhone
@mutualaid I have a #GoFundMe link in my #Bio and #Mastodon is kind enough to have come through for me a few times. If you'd like to donate to the go fund me, it would be very appreciated. Other methods of donating are... #1, #Paypal. Paypal.me/brooketg22 and #2 #Cashapp which is $LavenderSnowXX. I also have #ApplePay for anyone with iPhones, and #Venmo which is LaurenCeleste. More stories about why I need help coming soon. #Mecfss#CFS#Migraines#mentalhealth
Wie sehr ich es liebe, dass man bei #comdirect anrufen muss, um Debit-Karten für #ApplePay zu aktivieren. Bei Kreditkarten geht das bequem per App oder SMS.
Seit Jahren sagen sie, bald geht das dort auch, aber jedes Mal aufs Neue darf ich 10-20 Minuten in der Warteschleife hängen. Es ist so belastend und so eine Verschwendung von Ressourcen. Zeit, Personal und Energie. Nur weil sie keine Priorität auf etwas legen, was sie eigentlich bereits haben.
@caos Soweit ich weiss, hält sich #Twint an geltendes #Datenschutz|recht. Vom Gefühl her ist Twint in der Schweiz sehr weit verbreitet. Wahrscheinlich liegt es daran, dass diese #MobilePayment Lösung vor Marktantritt von #ApplePay und #GooglePay - und wie sie alle hiessen - war.
I joined #Sbanken when I moved to #Norway because at the time they were good, compared to other Norwegian banks, at being a bit modern.
I still have an open, empty account but don’t use them and thought they’d get worse after they got bought by #DNB.
That suspicion was confirmed when this week they sent me an SMS to say that they are stopping #ApplePay support and they physically mailed me a “kodebrikke”.
Is this 2005? I’ve never needed a code brick and certainly didn’t request one.
