I have an Australian SIM, if I go to the states it'll cost $A5 a day added to my bill for that I get full access to my 54GB of data, unlimited calls and text.

Don't have to do anything just switch phone back on when I get off the plane, in any of these countries..

I use Apple Pay with ANZ and have been since the day it launched.

People in stores are still surprised when I pay with Apple Watch, it's extremely convenient.

Australia seems to be the only country where selfish banks hold out, appleinsider regularly announce new countries coming aboard where all the banks get involved.

Banks here charge excessive fees, an example is to use another banks ATM the charge is around $2.50, there is no way that it costs the banks that much to process an inter bank transfer.

Banks here make huge profits through fees on basically everything we do with our money.

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.
