The social media teams do know exactly nothing. I think we as being informed people do know more about Apple Pay and its start than the standard social media team member.

They know that it has been announced to start ‚later this year‘ and they know if their employer is taking part officially. And nothing more. No „this week“, no „next week“ and no „next year“.

I don’t give a **** on what Social Media teams say
 
basically, yes. but you can be sure, if something would happen today or tomorrow, even the social media teams would know it today, so they can react at the moment the launch takes off. and until then they would not answer such questions today or with replies like "etwas geduld".

so, nichts genaues weiß man nicht. wir warten auf's christikind.

perhaps next week. or the week after. or january. or q3/2019.
 
So ING NL might be up to something. This tweet just appeared in my "Apple Pay" search: https://twitter.com/Alatoerka/status/1062012837789339650

I
have 3 things to doubt this screenshots:
- MasterCard cards use card numbers formatted in 4 groups of 4 numbers. The screenshot shows a group of 3
- The icon to the app shows a different app icon that is not included with the current version of the ING app.
- It's an account without a lot of tweets or followers. Never talked about Apple Pay before

But if it's a photoshop, it's a good one.

Maybe the ING head office working on Apple Pay will create opportunities for Apple Pay in Germany with ING?

Yep it’s fake! I replied to him with the misstakes, he deleted the tweet and re-uploaded it with the mistakes fixed: https://twitter.com/alatoerka/status/1062023224005984256?s=21

So yes it’s fake!

My N26 Maestro got individual numbers like a credit card. I heard that this is not the normal way. Whats about the ING-DIBA maestro? Do it got numbers aswell?

The screenshot is showing a maestro. Not a MasterCard
 
It doesn’t have a card number per se, the actual card number, the PAN that is, is not printed onto the card. Only IBAN is. PAN of NL/DE Maestro cards is 19 digits long.
 
Yeah that was nothing again. But well it never started on Mondays except US ;) We have three more possible dates this week or next week as always :D
 
Das nervt so langsam. Nur weil du schon Applepay seit etlicher Zeit mit Boom nutzt, musst du dich nicht über wartende User hier lustig machen
I don’t make fun of you. Sorry if you feel so.

I make fun of „I know something, I know something“ twitter birds ;)

And I mentioned several times, that AP is not thaaaaat big story for me.
If it is so important to you, you had the chance for years... it would have cost you about 5min.

So relax. Everything’s gonna be fine.

ich glaube ja nicht mehr recht an einen AP Start...

...aber hier ist jemand sicher, das AP diese Woche startet:

No, Miriam is not sure. She says „it is said to launch this week“ and that she is curious if it will really happen.

No problem. My point is: I could easily all of those workarounds since years. But I only wanted to wait that this big starts here right now in Germany. And I wait sooooo long for that

Did you get a chance to ask the guy you know personally who was trustworthy and said launch is today? Some kinda update?

As far as I know all MasterCard cards have a card number, including maestro. All of them use 4 sets of 4 number. Even cards that do not have their card number written on them, still have a card number
