I ordered the curve card mainly as a backup solution to use Apple Pay with cards that don't support Apple Pay native, if I want to use Apple Pay with them. Call it "proxy card". It will be the much cleaner solution than boon. which sucks as it does not pass through merchant names and so on to the regular credit card bill.
And it is officially available in Germany and several other countries:
Curve is currently available in the UK and selected European countries.
The following is a list of eligible European countries:
- Austria
- Bulgaria
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- Germany
- Iceland
- Ireland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Sweden
- France
- Greece
- Portugal
- Romania
- Spain
Did Curve acknowledge Apple Pay? Or can I already install it through an Apple Pay active country?
The official wording is: "We're aiming to release Apple Pay and Google Pay in the near future... stay tuned!"
Which sounds as they are already in negotiations with Apple and Google.
Apple just announced an event for the 30th of october

Or they shifted back to Q3/2019
Like the Stadtsparkasse?! No!!! Wait! Everything is possible nowadays at Apple and everywhere else.Don’t think it’s been postponed. T&C from three banks have been leaked (comdirect, Commerzbank, Hanseatic Bank), changes in the mobile payment activation system... Everything is more or less ready for launch.
FYI October has 31 days. I guess you mean 30th/31st but the way you write is confusing.
Wont happen on the 1.11 tho because of:
1. Holiday.
2. Then it would be released after the Q4 Earnings Call.
So it will be released till the 31.10.
Neither can I imagine that they will launch it on Nov. 1st. And October 30 makes no sense what so ever.
I would bet on a launch on 31st or later. Probably on the keynote they will announce several countries and I have a feeling we will see Apple Pay Cash very soon too.

Sorry, my post was a bit confusing.
I meant somewhere between the 30th and the 1st, between the apple event and the earnings call.
But, that is just my guess, as we are all guessing.
The Hypovereinsbank has ther HQ in Bavaria, which gets the Public Holiday... As well as Wirecard
And their IT department will be manned on 11/01 as well as any other data center in Bavaria that serves customers in whole Germany or other countries
As I said before, service providers will be manned and work on 11/01 in Bavaria or BaWü, because customers in Hamburg, Cologne or Berlin don't care about a single holiday in Bavaria, if their paid services and products don't work. IT departments, service hotlines will work with reduced manpower, but they will work.
