Only to pay with Apple Pay Switch to a Full Account. I think for the time until it comes in Germany, Boon is the best alternative. Even if someone has to pay.
Got a tip for us?

And still go on holiday to Italy? It’s not exactly a punishment (I’ll go there in the fall )Or wait another few weeks?
I like Bunq, I’ve no regrets about paying for it. Lots of stores here in NL don’t accept creditcards so Boom is not the best alternative here. Bunq with ApplePay works everywhere
On a side note... this completely went unnoticed: https://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/...-mobilen-bezahlservice-in-deutschland-6291660
The app is available here: https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/allianz-prime/id1282314742?mt=8
Maybe they could also be a launch partner for Apple Pay in Germany (adding to the already fairly long list of banks).

Just for people interested in Bunq, they will have their next "Bunq update" on July, 24th. Dont think we will see anything Apple Pay related but maybe Google Pay will make it to Bunq.
By the way like i said before Austia and Germany could start together.
He believes it too:

I think Apple Earnings Call on July, 31 is our biggest and maybe even last chance for this year. An announcement at September Keynote seems pretty unlikely, because The last AP announcement at a keynote was Sept. 2016. And the Q4 Earnings Call at November is maybe too late for this year.
Did somebody notice, that one Sparkasse is offering Apple Pay already?

That's the Sparkasse of South Tirol ("Südtirol"). Italy (where Apple Pay has launched) has absolutely nothing to do with the German Sparkassen. Sorry to disappoint you
This... but it’s been sorted! Must say the boon / Wirecard customer service is absolutely fantastic! Was worried they were cracking down.
Ok. Not at my wallet. But had a problem Yesterday at Ditsch, although even the physical MasterCard was not working wireless and I had to put it into the reader. So it seems to me there was a problem yesterday. Don't know if wireless can be out of order and chip works?
Had the same problem with both methods (Apple Watch + Physical Card) at a vending machine shortly later. The machine complaining "payment not accepted"

Could be that the NFC reader is broken, saw it yesterday in Hornbach, where one of their POS terminals was working only with chip.
Or there might have been some MC outage, similar to one last week

Same problem last week. After a call to the hotline it was unlocked again.
But they couldn't tell me why it was blocked.
Maybe interesting for us (as Revolut is launching on Google Pay officially in August in Germany): Revolut has now appeared on the French Apple Pay site as "coming soon"... Hmm

Revolut is saying "coming soon" for like over a year now.
Hmmm. Most concrete statement of him about Apple Pay I ever read. High bet.
Especially the last tweet: he knows one bank that will launch Apple Pay this year in Germany.

In my opinion he is very reliable. I disagree though on his take regarding an announcement at the Q3 Earnings Call. Apple has shown a clear pattern when it comes to announcing new countries. I don't see them saying anything about new countries at the September keynote. If it is gonna happen, it will be at an earnings call. After an announcement banks have about 2 more months time. The release could therefore be very well at the beginning of October. Otherwise we won't see Apple Pay in Germany any time before November.
I think it could get very interesting for Germany in two weeks. I have no insider information whatsoever. It is simply my take on this matter.
[doublepost=1531951161][/doublepost]Plus, I suspect his source is Commerzbank/comdirect. He stated he knew about the start of Google Pay. Now it is the same source. Regarding his tweets I doubt he has very strong links to N26. Wirecard with boon is simply not enough of a big player to know the details of the start that long before it is actually gonna happen. So it is an easy exclusion principle for me.
