It's not a sticker
They are a launch partner and they got it as a digital file for that print
It's not a sticker
Some news site is saying that AP is launching tomorrow. I doubt that it's going to happen tomorrow.

You can get the files yourself without being partner. They are available for download for everyone.It's not a sticker
I mean I trust him somewhat, but why would he know the dates 28/29 and not one specific date/week? And then he said: "EHER letzteres" its weird... If someone who knows the date would tell him one week I would understand him but then he would say like 27-29 and not "EHER" thursday... (maybe im just overthinking it tho)
In German: Wenn ihn jemand aus Bankenkreisen sagt, diese Woche, dann hat doch jeder Tag die gleiche Wahrscheinlichkeit und man sagt nicht "eher Donnerstag" oder?
Possibly he was told something like 'late next week' ("Gegen Ende der Woche")?. This wording rules out Tuesday, and suggests Thursday (but also leaves a slight possibility for Wednesday and he is covering his bases).

The SSL error wasn’t related to the „comdirect“ app but to the „Banking“ app - two different apps from different developers.
"EC" (or the Girocard/Maestro card) was never going to be implemented. Some are assuming that they will offer a free MC Debit virtual card (although I doubt that will be completely free).
comdirect will just use the Wallet as the method to connect the card with a verification code via SMS. It's the same principle when you add your N26 card directly via Wallet.
But I hope that comdirect will some day add some necessary features to their app, such as:
- Card Control
- real-time transaction info for Visa and push notifications
- seeing the IBAN when receiving a payment
But the first two are the ones that are most important to me as they have become essential when you look at other banks, even ING.
Yes, that would be great. But I fear that Commerzbank / comdirect will have a lot of work to do on their backend before that happens (they can't even transfer money from one internal account to another instantly - can take up to a day which is pathetic).
Other than that: If Apple Pay is to launch this week, they're keeping it bloody watertight! None of my cards are producing any hints of an imminent launch when trying to add them to Wallet (apart from Visa cards issued in DE referring to this page: https://www.apple.com/de/apple-pay/banks/de/en-de.html).

I don't know what to believe any more...
Still faster than Amazon. I've ordered Kingdom Hearts III on 3. July 2013 and am still waiting for delivery
They named sources at the end of the article: nothing new, just some random pages. Not that credible.
Timo Hetzel, host of Bitsandso and a tech blogger/guy. I'm not all too familiar with German techies. But: As far as I know they let it slip that he knows someone fairly high up at Fidor Bank (and he also lives in Munich
).We also assume that Rudolf Linsenbarth has connections to comdirect / Commerzbank.
Question is: Who knows more
Well, seems they’re still busy modernizing their whole IT department and getting it back in-house. As well as dealing with Worldline as a payment processor. Also one of the reasons why currently only their Visa is used for Google/ Apple Pay. They’ve announced support for the Girocard in Google Pay for next year, let’s see what comes out.
Other than that, I would say that bunq and Revolut are the golden standards for banking apps - both are native apps with native elements and UI, not even N26 feels like they do.
