  • Final 'big four' Australian bank folds, announces Apple Pay rollout by mid-2020

    Good! If consumers want something other than Apple Pay, they can buy a different device. Simple.

    It's at the point in Australia where you're pretty safe to go shopping, eating and clubbing without taking a physical credit card. You can make almost all (if not absolutely all) payments from an Apple watch. Public transport is the hold-out. I guess that competition doesn't exist in the sector, hence the lack of imperative to modernize.
    In NSW Apple Pay is accepted on trains/lightrail, busses and ferries (and of course taxis) - which state's public transport service is the hold out? (https://transportnsw.info/tickets-opal/opal/contactless-payments)
    Agreed. Just travelled the Metro today with only my iPhone and now with my NSW drivers license on my iPhone I can drive without a card or wallet.
