The press office of the Federal Association of German Volksbanks and Raiffeisenbanks has officially postponed the launch of Apple Pay to 2020.
There was recently a movement regarding Apple Pay at the Volksbanken, which gave hope for a timely launch. But now the disappointment. The press office of the Federal Association of German Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken announced today via Twitter that Apple Pay support will not be possible until 2020. The reason for the surprising delay is problems with the "technical implementation". The statement on Twitter states:
#VBRB market launch #ApplePay is postponed to 2020. Unfortunately, the technical implementation is taking longer than planned. We apologize to everyone who is looking forward to it. The partners in the financial group involved in the implementation are working hard to complete it.
The result is of course a great disappointment among customers. But now a few users are speaking out, who do not believe that this is a technical problem but rather bring the new law against Apple Pay into play – see reportIt remains to be seen when Apple's payment service will actually be available to Volksbank customers.
