The launch of Apple Pay in China is a victim of its success and millions of registrations

Announced since a
moment, Apple Pay has finally arrived in China for, obviously, the most
great pleasure of the Chinese. There would even have beenan influx of users
too sudden, on the first day of availability of the service, which
would have created problems during registration, in particular to add a
bank card in their Apple Pay account:

The Apple firm would have badly planned the blow by reserving too few
server resources to be able tosupport the burden of new
Chinese users. Indeed, victim of its success, there are already 38
millions of cards that were linked to Chinese Apple Pay accounts.

The Cupertino company is currently working on resolving the problem,
which should arrive soon.

This should settle down over time. Moreover, it will be interesting to
follow the curve of active Apple Pay accounts in China, pour
see at what level, compared to the direct competitor Alipay and its 400 million
of active users in the territory, the Apple firm will manage to
position.

Its partnership with, among others, the credit and debit service of
carteUnionPay(5 billion cards registered in China),
should, however, bear fruit and help him reach a good position
in the ranking of mobile payment solutions in China.
