Neither of their responses look great TBH.
Yeah I think then maybe the response I got was from someone who wasnāt told previously how to phrase their response.
I just want them to hurry up, feels like weāve been waiting forever.
Iāve got an Amex, and Iāve got Apple Pay. But Iāve probably used it three times, the main reason being I also have an ING Everyday Account which gives me 2% back for all Paywave Transactions under $100. Itās just as easy for me to get my ING card out of my wallet as it is for me to use my iphone. My partner now has one and weāre pretty much only using our credit cards for things like bills or purchases over $100, everything else is cash through ING. The 2% cashback may of course not last forever! I use cash so rarely now, that currently Iāve got $40 in my wallet and I think itās the same $40 Iāve had for at least a month. I havenāt had any coins in my pockets for months either.
Just out of curiosity, do you think your frequency of use would be higher if you had an ļ£æWatch?
Finally got to use this with the watch. Ridiculously cool

Iām jealous, still impatiently waiting for the banks to get their act together 
I think we may be waiting a looooooong timeā¦
In the meantime that Bellroy phone case looks like a good way to use NFC, but alas I donāt have an iPhone 6 
This may have been said here before but, I think we will have Apple Pay here (properly) by launch of the iPhone 7, I just have a feeling thatāll be the breaking point. Even if itās only one bank.
get the feeling that once 1 bank jumps on board, the rest will be pretty quick to follow

Except for CBA, Iām sure. Iām not expecting them to adopt Apple Pay ever.
If Commonwealth Bank doesnāt ever join Apple Pay, that will be a shame.
I donāt want to have to leave them, so hereās hoping they come to their senses.
Complacency is the main reason I havenāt looked too hard elsewhere, but if they give me a good enough reason I will have a look at alternatives- this would be a good enough reason.

Iām late to the Apple Pay game, as I recently signed up for a free Amex card that supports Apple Pay. I find myself using it more on the iPhone now as it is less awkward in public, compared to trying to pay with Apple Watch (where the face is pointing away from me and I canāt see it). If Iām at a terminal that has self-service options (like Woolies, Coles), Iād be more keen to try out Apple Pay on the watch. Most of the time I pay with iPhone if possible. Iām slowly accumulating a list of places that work with Apple Pay.
I have an Amex with one of the banks and donāt really want another one just for ApplePay although itās tempting. Annoying that the banks arenāt getting on board.
Itās like waiting for Christmas morning on Christmas night, feels like forever
Bumpage. So there are multiple rumblings on various other fora about other providers come on board for Apple Pay, most notably ANZ. Somebody claimed on Ozbargain to have added an ANZ Amex and it worked and they were able to use it, but then ANZ contacted them a few days later and they had to remove it or something along those lines. Along with this apparently people are getting different messages when attempting to add cards from banks than they were previously.

Any news is good news at this point, even rumours.
I donāt care which banks step up, Iāll sign up with whoever does it.
AMEX is just not a good choice IMO to use it because a lot of places donāt accept AMEX, so hopefully sooner rather than later some other regular old bank does it. I wanna be able to use Apple Pay on my debit card.
100% agreed, I will swap my banking in a heartbeat.
Just getting standard āYour issuer does not supportā message on ING and CBA debit cards.
Itās a first world problem, for sure, but it would just be damn convenient.
Hereās an example of how Iād see it being convenient.
I go out to do some shopping, I stop at Boost and pick my drink then double tap the side button and swipe on my ļ£æWatch to bring up my boost club membership, scan it to get my points then swipe to my bank card and pay.
Having your bank card in your ļ£æWatch is handy, but think of all of the possible membership cards that could be stored on there.
In fact, because of cardless cash, I wouldnāt even need to carry my bank card with me even if a place didnāt accept NFC.
