Apple Pay Apple Pay in Germany

Guys J have already N26. But I’d like to have a card which is direct connected with my Sparkasse. Because I don’t want to send money to my N26 card every week. Like auto pop up.

What would you recommend me?

Auf Deutsch: Brauch eine Lösung damit ich nicht jede Woche Geld zu meinem N26 Konto schicken muss. Sondern eine Karte die das Geld von meinem Sparkasse Konto automatisch zieht wenn was abgebucht wird. Gibt es sowas? Wenn möglich kostenlos

No, that's changed.

You get three physical cards and all of those can support Apple Pay :) The previous virtual card was a workaround (to get users in non Apple Pay countries aboard). They had to change that when they publicly shared how to get around the region block and Apple stopped signing bunq cards in Wallet :D

Are you sure about that? As far as I know you still get the fourth card. Of course I can be wrong but the digital card was not limited to people abroad. Customers in Italy and Spain still get them. At least this was the case two three weeks ago.

No, that's long gone now. I'm a bunq user with Apple Pay enabled :) No more virtual cards...

In that case boon. or VIMpay (although I'm still not quite clear on how VIMpay actually works, or if it's just the same as boon.).

Boon really works? But it is not free right?

Ok good to know. But still three cards is more than enough and with dual pin it’s awesome. And of course you can use them right away no need to wait for the physical card.

And first month is free.

I used VIMPay some time ago with my Garmin but the expierence was not very good. You have lots of „accounts“ in your account and always need to move your money around. If you wanted to pay online you had to have the money in the card itself. If I wanted to pay with Garmin I ha dto. move the money to Garmin... very annoying and probably will be handled the same way with Apple Pay.

BTW Amex would be a good choice I guess. Money would be taken directly from your connected account.

Yes but Amex is not free and there are very many places where the don’t accept Amex

Payback Amex is free. And I’ve seen lots of places lately that added Amex support.

I guess it comes down to personal preferences. Bunq, Boon or Amex you can’t do much wrong with either one of them.

Does boon Auto top up work from bank accounts too? Or only from creditcards?

What about the cash back stories of boon.? Somebody wrote about that. So the monthly fee would not be a big problem

Every now and again boon. offers cashbacks „10 % on your next purchase“ for example. This way you can indeed get some money back but you still need to pay each month the fee.

Well, let's see if I move my irish boon Account to Germany (support says, that would be possible) or if I leave it the way it is.... as my Amex will now be supported, I will pay most bills with Amex anyway.
 
boon. has cashback every few months. If you use that wisely, you'll get the 1,49€ / month back. Easy!

Otherwise just consider switching accounts or add an additional account!

Why dont you change your bank?

Granted, ok.

But he's the guy who "predicted" the launch 2016 and 2017, and in February said "get ready for the earnings call". He was bound to be right some time.

Maybe he does have a contact in one of the banks, maybe Apple Pay was delayed several times. He did said "the next 48hrs will be interesting" before the launch site went live. Possibly his contact told him today was going to be a PR day.

Who know's.

All I'm certain about, is that the launch can't be this week. Why would they waste all this energy announcing incoming Apple Pay support today, if they were to launch tomorrow or Wednesday/Thursday. It'll probably be next week, right?
