Google Pay Competitor: Apple Pay is already tested in Germany – at the savings bank

This week, Google Pay officially launched in Germany and won the race for the German market – at least with regard to the early development of the market. Now that all unanswered questions about Google Pay have been resolved, the question is when will the big global competition catch up with Apple? According to anonymous information, this could not last as long as the employees of the Sparkbade betrayed.

In a German forum now has an anonymous source in the room made that the Sparkbade is currently testing in Germany, the service Apple Pay – and even with 80 devices. It can almost be described as a large-scale test, but the typical Apple is of course under the strictest secrecy. A possible launch of Apple Pay is likely to produce fewer leaks in advance, as was the case with Google Pay.

According to a Caschy blog, a Sparkbaden employee reportedly confirmed the rumor, but may not continue to do so. speak – just the typical secret statements. This also corresponds to Sparkbade's reaction on Twitter, which initially claimed to have a strong interest in Apple Pay and later. Then it was claimed that the social media team was not up to date – but without confirming or denying the previous one. Since Apple has probably called and asked the necessary secrecy. Both tweets can be found below.

Apple could launch very soon in Germany – and unlike Google, it also loads dealers. However, Google only collects certain data that should not be used for advertising purposes. If Apple Pay finds more acceptance than Google Pay remains to be seen. The tax of 0.15% does not seem high, adds one in the mbad.

We will keep this in mind because a possible launch of Apple Pay in Germany, of course, will continue to inspire Google 's offer. Apple is still considered a market maker and could then direct the interest of other participants on such offers. Until now, banks are not completely convinced
