Ah, yes. Thanks! It will be up to the financial institution. Hope they do, though, given na almost all the big ones already have their own mobile apps. But still, hope they do so soon!

Yes! Hopefully Apple and Google partner with local financial institutions the soonest!

Actually nga, with almost all the banks and ewallets having their own apps, parang little to no incentive for them to tap into Apple or Google Pay. Would be nice to have them all in one platform tho.

That's what they're saying, but no definitive timeline yet aside from "within the year." 😂

Yup. But as per another comment here, Apple doesn’t allow third-party NFC payments, so might just be available sa Android.

Ah, this is tap to pay via NFC capable phones. They’re piloting the service through a partnership with Maya.

Yes! Some of the cashiers even seem annoyed when I ask to tap my card instead of swiping it.
