Apple Pay Apple Pay in Germany

docfred said:
what I don't get is, why DSGV and DK is often used interchangeably. And why paydirekt is seen as a product of the dsgv. Paydirekt is offered by 1400 banks and a cooperative offer of all noticeable banks on the market.

and because everyone from Deutsche Bank to VoBa Kleinschwarzenhinterwaldseenbach wanted to talk and decied, paydirekt came years too late to compete. And even the hilariously boarding process for retailers (no single point of contact, no transparent costs and fees, everyone has to negotiate on their own with their "Hausbank" about fees, is a product of this. CommerzBank wants other fees than ING-DiBa wants other fees than KSK Ludwigsburg wants other fees than Deutsche Bank.

Im not using those two terms interchangeably.
I used both in my comment for multiple reasons:
- DK is the initiator of paydirekt
- DSGV has the most influence and the most saying if we’re all honest - they’re the biggest and they have the most customers, even though Sparkassen are mostly separate entities, DSGV is their representative in cases like this one
 
Someone has already read this on Twitter, that tomorrow the Apple stores will close as early as 19 Uhr (7p.m.) Should there perhaps be training for Apple Pay? Does anyone have any information?

Dec 3 - Training for Apple Store employees
Dec 4 - Launch of Apple Pay in Germany

would make some sense... but probably too simple to be true.

edit: after thinking about this for a while, I don't think that they would close the stores one hour early for that. They never close them early when new products have been released, so why would they do that for such feature?

It could coincide, but I doubt much training is needed to use Apple Pay. The people at Lidl and Aldi managed very well without even knowing about it
 
That's "besondere Öffnungszeiten" for Munich.

It could also be the case, of course, that you might prepare the terminals and maybe something to advertise Apple Pay.
 
Big Spekulatius: Everybody in these countries gets trained for Apple Pay Cash rollout in Europe and in Germany Apple Pay on top. ;)
(Don't take it too serious)
 
Strange that so many stores tomorrow close at 7pm. What do you think guys????

Just checked a plenty of them!

That would definitely be done backstage by the responsible team in the store. No need to close the store early. Or else, it would be done during an overnight session...or in the morning before the store opens.
 
And if they train the employees, it’s in my eyes the different ways of adding cards to Apple Pay and not how to handle the payment.
In Stores they have often to do with not so knowledgeable people that ask question how to this and that.
