Hsbc is one of the “red” bank that an insider told us. Malas go find that post. Sooo that insider is working for HSBC then. Hahaha

He never say it’s sotong or camel. Haha.
But makes sense. HSBC supports AP across the causeway

Refer on why it's delayed, again.

Maybe. I got a friend working in HSBC telesales dept. I asked, he sees no “Apple Pay” word in his “product desc”. Either upper mgmt updated it away or that CS rep bantai only.

Samsung Pay I believe went thru similar bureaucracy as AP. On why then BNM is so "pushy" wanting requirement A, B, C for AP, that's something we might never know.
Also, who knows, maybe SP and banks also took them few years doing it at the back without our knowledge (SP was first intro in SK @ 20th Aug 2015 while locally is launched in 24th February 2017).
Maybe SP and AP's backend (disaster recovery etc etc) works different and because of the ever changing and advancement of tech and scams, BNM probably getting stricter and stricter.
And maybe who knows, this AP project by the local banks has only started maybe exactly 1 year ago only. SP took 2 years. So, chill lo. Can those insiders confirm this? hahaha


Btw, Genting has a vending machine in First World Plaza that takes GP, SP and AP.

Now can add into Apple Wallet too! Those already added into Health, go to Health app and tap on ur covid vaccination details and then tap on the newly enlightened “Add to Wallet” button!

I think AP eats some small fee on every tap. Recently only TnG willing to let go of 10-20% of the parking surcharge so do you think TnG is gonna let another part of their $$ flow out?

Wishful thinking but I really do hope they do. Not sure with our little AP-enabled neighbour country have their ezlink card able to add into AP or not but afaik, Wise SG’s card can be set to Transit Mode (cause I have it)

Just to keep some reference here.
Pre-AGM Q&A PDF
Page 20 & 21, Question number 25.

BXM has not been approached by said bank for approval. Article mentioned "currently working on" =/= gotten BXM approval or even evaluation. Just like any other stuff, as long internally or personally trying (with no real world consequences), you do not need the lawmaker/regulator for any approval.

But if BXM approved this, I wonder what said bank did right vs what our "panel" AP banks did wrong that BXM keep wanting for answers.
At most, I personally would only allow this card to be a prepaid card that parents can control. Not even linked to any CASA or even Visa/Master/MyDebit. Just like TnG card but with online control will do.

With these insider infos + recent TnG "scandal" (although highly doubt it has anything to do with AP but now the "mainstream" news is blaming on AP, thanks for the word of mouth spread of Apple Pay), local players and hopefully BNM is now more pressured than ever to be the first to launch/release Apple Pay support in MY.

Don't think so. That account is not official Apple's. Official Apple's will turn off all comments.

Well, you have been in this thread for quite sometime but your words are almost identical to those other forumers that said the same and then suddenly AP is pushed back again and again.
No, I'm not saying you are pulling our legs because this is the internet, we can say whatever we want and it's up to us to trust your words or not. If it's true, thank you for being the real truth teller all these while.

Anyways, I choose to trust you. What's there to lose?
My questions are
1) Colour of bank (if it has 2 or more colours, also can just mention one of the colour will do to remain anonymous)
2) Credit and debit card supported?
3) If you already know the exact date, why would there be hiccups? Does that mean BNM has approved or going-to-approve AP? If already gotten BNM's greenlight, just let us know too.
4) Q3 or Q4? 2022 right?

Answer as many questions or much details as you can. Don't expose yourself too much. Cheers for the AP community that has been yearning for it for years!


Edit
Bringing back my old post on the JSON file. Gonna refresh it daily for changes. me076310 can confirm that they/you are using this and by seeing there's an "MY" in this, means it's coming/launched?

why GP over AP? Besides the bigger user audience in MY.
AP is automatically supported across almost all devices since iOS 8.1 (which is theoratically ALL devices in today's standard).
Idk about GP but do enlighten me on why banks would prioritise GP over AP?

I've already mentioned the bolded words and yet, reply me with the same thing. Please tell me something else than this.

The main idea of AP and GP is the contactless function and there's not many NFC Android devices are out there while almost all still-iOS-supported iOS devices can use Apple Pay right out of the box.

Just update us if fail to materialize pls. Otherwise, we will be riding on false hopes and dreams.


*edit add
I went to Subang Parade recently and they have a notice @ their car park entrance there they say do not use Smartphone or Smart Watch to pay for their parking as it's not compatible. Hmmmm. Their "terminal" is the usual blue visa coloured one.

I think it's quite obvious it's gonna be tiger. Can start to apply first.

As for your situation, just tell the merchants u wanna do paywave. they will let u wave one.

I tell you, sometimes when they let us scan their DNQR and they go bonkers when they see u use another eWallet app vs their QR's app.
It all boils down to the merchant willing to teach their staff to not go bonkers when see other eWallet app.
As for accepting AP or not by merchant, I believe they are NOT supposed to disallow us to not pay via AP as the interchange fee is sure to be passed on to consumers. Plus, if I were to use my AP now to scan at even Mr DIY, it will get through. So let's hope that there's no difference in MDR so they wont come and block us from paying with AP.

Interesting. What do you mean by pre-register and pre-auth? What extra stuff do we still need to do as a consumer other than just adding our plastic to Apple Wallet/Pay?

Also, how soon? Soon in Y2022? Soon in Y2023? Q1? Q2? Q3 Q4?

Answer as much as you can.

SWEET! Can’t wait for the first 2 weeks of August 2022! Fingers cross everyone! At least 13 days to go!

Never see b4 AP has any benefits other than convenience only. Those benefits could probably be handled by respective FI to attract ppl to use AP.
