  • Apple Pay VP says Australian banks short-circuited adoption by sidestepping talks

    Australian banks are blood sucking leeches protected by political donations to a horde of ex bankers in our parliament, up to and including Malcolm Turnbull the Prime Minister, (President Trumbull as your new president refers to him).

    I've been with ANZ for decades and started using Apple Pay from day one, as Australian banks operate like a cartel and are all exactly the same if you want to use it change banks.

    The only issue I've had is with Suncorp merchant terminals which don't seem to accept Apple Pay.

    Totally agree, they are just proving once again they have zero consideration for what their customers want and their arrogance shines through. It does little to install confidence in the general public perception about fairness. This is all about profit and nothing about the consumer. If this was so anti competitive, why have literally thousands of other banks around the world adopted it with open arms. Australia banks should feel ashamed, but as noted above, it just stinks of protectivism.
