Anything to share with us from your this statement?
Can see you still active in lyn

Today marked the final month for 2021 Q4.
Hope this is true and no more wolf story

This must be legit if you're saying it's no more wolf story.
Pilot testing in what coffee chain? 

Coffee chain that is big enough for Apple's attention:
1) Starbucks (Should be this as their network is quite huge in MY)
2) Coffee Bean
3) San Francisco

So, go kacau those working in these chains.    maybe they will know something.

Only one outlet or they are asking all/most outlet to try? Abit makes no sense to ask only 1 outlet to try right?

Anything can happen now. From Q4 2021, now to Q1 2022. Soon Q2 2022, then Q3 2022 etc etc. haha

I’m on long leave already, 20th only coming back …email also lazy to open since going for holiday …maybe during 2moro virtual event i’ll ask the dev side

driftmeister creep Xaphier pls pass this msg to your project manager or representative to BxM. Maybe it's one of you guy's Project Manager/Representative that is causing AP launch to be slowed.

The fact that BNM are asking these questions makes me really question the competence of the person/people in charge of spearheading the Apple Pay project. Do they even understand the basics of the project they are working on. Like have they even used Apple Pay (either in the testing phase or just asking their international friends for their cards to try it out?).  Their lack of knowledge really shows their lack of enthusiasm for Apple Pay.
As well explained by Mavik in order to use Apple Pay, the user has to authentic (unless Express Travel Mode) with Face/Touch ID or with their passcode before authorising a payment. I would argue it’s more secure than your physical wallet because once a thief has your physical wallet in their possession; they can use the banknotes and your bank cards’ wave function to make payments. The only institution that allows you to manually disable contactless transactions in app is Wise. So in terms of theft, Apple Pay is more secure.

Merchants and card issuers would definitely have agreements on how much the transaction limit would be on contactless payments to prevent fraud. If they are unsure if the transaction is authorised, they can request the user to enter their PIN, sign a receipt or even request a different payment method.

As I always though, Apple Pay works like your bank card. However, it exists virtually. It’s  having two different bank cards (physical and virtual) linked to the same account. It’s s like having two keys that unlock the same door lock. Like my door lock example, both keys (cards in our case) should have similar characteristics and limitations.
Agree with PoisonSoul, if you’re still bothered reading our messages driftmeister creep Xaphier, please contact the person/people in charge. Their lack of knowledge about Apple Pay is sabotaging it’s release date and it has made most people give up on Apple Pay’s release. I hope these issues would be resolved soon; as many hope one day they could just use their phone for contactless payments.

Last Friday was the "bluetick" from BxM to you guys lah? I wonder how long would they take to make assessment again and then give the green light.  So if they reject this justification, can your bank just be like "ah you know what, BxM so mafan, scrap off this project lah. fk this shxt" or you guys will continue to push and push until BxM is satisfied?

U guys should tag driftmeister, who do the main conversation with central bank la

driftmeister when did you and/or a team delivered the explanation to BNM. I remember saying they should respond within 21 days or something. Is it usual for them to take that long to respond or the response was only sent recently?

Thanks creep for this detailed update. What do you mean by the status on 5th Jan? What does implementation date means? Does it mean that the "code" to use AP is already in the production side just that, for now, if user tries to add your bank's card, it will just deny? Just waiting for Business Team to say ok, and IT side will "flip the switch" to allow us to add the cards?

Hi, any news from them? Under such circumstances when they no reply, how long would you guys chase/shoot them?😂

Hi, still no reply from the central bank?

Can just ask them about the status? Or they are like god mode which cannot be ask or challenge?😂

Another requirement is a step forward from another question. Judging by their tone, hopefully it’s reaching the final stages before public release.

If you can driftmeister, what requirement or any other hinderance is still there to overcome?

Then need 21 days to get reply from bnm given if no more further questions, then another 2 weeks to inform apple. So expecting end May can use?

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.

saw the maybank reply on apple pay

Any most recent update bro?

Did some further analysis on the Week Of The Month (first day of the month as Week 1) of the past release dates and the results are as follows:
Week 1: 6.8% (3)
Week 2: 22.7% (10)
Week 3: 18.2% (8)
Week 4: 34.1% (15)
Week 5: 18.2% (8)

So I guess past data is pointing towards 9 Aug 2022 more than 2 Aug 2022 (if any of these are correct). With that said, this is based on probability from past data.
