Let's hope it's a glitch... 

Ahh no wonder, but even my Mastercard did not appear.. in fact, the whole option disappeared. But glad to know the maintenance is happening 

For retail transactions, Apple Pay = standard credit card / debit card method - which is NFC.

So whether or not the outlet 'accepts' or not, as long as it's a new credit card terminal that allows NFC or PayWave function, it is by default that it will work with Apple Pay.

that's why i always tell them "wave" then when the terminal is ready just tap my phone/watch. never had any problem or say cannot use. don't tell the cashier "apple pay"

Apparently Touch N Go prepaid is finally launching, hoping that they’ll allow it to be added to AP but considering their track record.. :/

Agree on the above. So far all issuers except one opted to only  offer Apple Pay to Credit Card users.

I suppose this may have something to do with the economics of allowing Apple Pay (IIRC rumour has it that for Credit Cards the fee to issuer is ~0.15% whereas for Debit Cards it might be a fixed fee). With a relatively low and decreasing Card Interchange (CC: ~0.5%, DC/PC: varies by amount but overall ~0.1%) percentage for banks, the fee they have to pay to Apple is significant. I have no inside info but I reckon Maybank might be making nothing or even a loss for allowing Apple Pay for Debit Card users.

However, I still hope that BigPay will support Apple Pay soon so that I don’t have to carry 1 extra card while travelling.

Maybe many cheapskate here?

I had been to London, 99% of the time I can pay with card. Their bus, train system even can accept visa & mastercard.
So the society accept card like cash.

But you see many merchants here ask for cash only and you can't use visa & mastercard to pay for bus or toll.

It worked for me few days back. Try again maybe? Seems to be only for credit cards.

I just recalled I added HSBC debit card before just to test 1/2 yrs back and it works but that was for card issued in Singapore. No reason why Msia debit cards not allowed if this has been successfully implemented in Singapore

So far is it safe to use Apple Pay? In term on security strength. Nowadays too many fraud/cons cases, bit scare on too convenient payment method.

Totally agree on the above!!!

IIRC, some banks have done either one or even both of the following:
1. Have increased or is increasing the Contactless per transaction limit from RM250 to RM1,000.
2. Removed cumulative Contactless limit (so... basically you can tap till you hit your credit limit I suppose?).

The above 2 reasons are why I have made a decision to not bring the physical card out with me anymore once I have enrolled them into Apple Pay. At least Apple Pay would require biometrics authentication before payment as compared to no authentication in a phsical contactless card.

Couldn’t use Apple Pay (Visa) at one of the Korean convenience store chain.

The error message when the transaction failed IIRC was “Timed Out [Error Code]” and the terminal is a “Plug n Play” branded terminal that looks similar to the one below:


The store-keeper asked if I had a physical card beforehand and advised that Apple Pay may take a lot longer to go through. I am wondering if it’s a connection issue that has caused the “Time-Out” (affecting all card transactions) or did the store managed to “ban” all mobile contactless payments.

so far so good with Apple Pay in Thailand
McD and 7-11 work with MAE
Just for 7-11 the transaction history not work again and i need to re-enable the transaction history to sync

Did you enable for oversea transaction?
Maybe call Maybank for clarify.

AP is available already as per checked right now for normal Shopee purchases.

Seems like Shopee MY re-enable the support for VISA card , but only local card and not foreign card
