Au
country of French banks compatible with Apple Pay, there are few inhabitants,
migration is taking place very gradually because of the reluctance of banks to
adopt Apple's solution which is nevertheless very practical.
After the announcement of arrivalof Apple Pay at
Société Généralewhich is also starting to delay, it is now the turn
from the bankBNP Paribasto adoptthe end of
the yearApple's mobile payment service.
Indeed, in an interview given to the newspaper La Tribune, Thierry Laborde, the
deputy general director of the BNP Paribas bank declared, I quote:
“At the end of the year we will still offer Apple Pay, the closed system
of Apple for iPhone, which apparently is not the revolution announced in
France, probably because it's just payment."
This gives the impression that BNP Paribas is reluctantly adopting Apple Pay and
we imagine at the request of our customers and prefer to highlight our own app
wallet called LyfPay
available here on the App Store.
Still, this is good news for users who
are at BNP Paribas, and if you can't wait, there is still
alternatives like Orange Bank or N26, 100% online banks which have
the wind is in its sails at the moment.
