The press office of the Federal Association of German Volksbanks and Raiffeisenbanks has officially postponed the launch of Apple Pay to 2020.
Just recently, there was some movement regarding Apple Pay at the Volksbanken (cooperative banks), which raised hopes of a timely launch. But now comes disappointment. The press office of the Federal Association of German Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken announced today via Twitter that Apple Pay support will not be available until 2020. The reason for the surprise delay is problems with the "technical implementation." The statement on Twitter reads:
#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.
