You guys tried to use Apple Pay (Singapore or whenever supported) in Malaysia with PayWave terminal?

Wow interesting, thanks for the confirmation. hmmm but we have a lot of iPhone too especially in the LRT/MRT you can see it a lot. Was thinking maybe Samsung did some exclusive contract with the banks... Was expecting Apple Pay to come here sooner since it is already available in SG since 2016 i think... usually will come to malaysia soon after.

Currently we have Maybank/CIMB Pay that works with android NFC phone and Samsung Pay.... and the on-slaughter of QR code based mobile wallet. Hopefully Apple Pay going to land here soon.

Citibank right LOL https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT206638
they wanted to come out with their own mobile payment solution but didn't get much traction http://www.citigroup.com/citi/news/2017/17...linkId=39480508

but wow didn't know they have this in SG also basically is like Maybank/CIMB Pay in Malaysia...


Hahahaha yeah iPhone in cities LOL but kampung not much NFC/Paywave terminal in place anyway what LOL but yeah overall definitely there's more android... but if taking into account of NFC android vs iPhone 6s and above, the numbers might not be that far

but thats the reason why QR code payment is getting all the hype.... lousy android or any iPhone can support. without the need of NFC or Apple's approval

How does credit card benefit work with AP? If I add let's say card that have dining cashback. Does using it with AP still eligble for that? The transaction show AP deduct or directly merchant (the dinning place)?

What about Apple Cash? Would it be supported in Malaysia?
This seems more like a "e wallet" kinda thing where people send and receive money?

If supported where can we use? any visa/mastercard terminal would work?

Apple cash is US only as well? I thought that is Apple cash card.

So basically Apple cash wont be available la... ooh

the horror of not being able to exit and blocking everyone else. hahahaha
i think the tokenization thing might prevent you from exiting

Is Apple Pay only accessible via the lock screen?
Can I unlock my phone, open wallet app, tap on the card and use it like that?

Tested Apple Pay in LA using Tap card super cool especially with Express Travel. Then used my Visa card in NYC subway.... Super nice... glad we have Apple Pay now


Especially with the Tap card in LA. No need to have physical card. Imagine you can apply for a TnG card directly in Apple Pay and use all our public transport. Including online top up too.

I saw other country implemented their mifare classic card into Apple Pay which is the same underlying tech under tng. Wonder if tng would work with Apple Pay one day

Yes it works, I used the express travel in US bus and metro no issue. I think some used in SG no issue also.

Update: wait yours is debit card? best call Maybank to check

Had sms issue too. Removed the card and readd and boom! Works now! Finally.

Now my wish list is Citibank (but hard cause UOB takeover. Hope UOB will do it for them) then Wise card for travel use.

i think you need to specifically mention is amex. I dont think visa/mastercard only merchant can process apple pay amex

I think one of the reason they did that because the ticket is based on distance travelled + transit cool off time rather than one off ticket price.
Hence they need to total it up rather than charging it upfront.

For example from Bugis to Downtown you take bus + train or train only it's the same price.

I do wish malaysia would do this so my mix travel of rapidkl bus + train would be much cheaper.

New York also does this but a bit difference, as in it charge one shot let's say 2USD then you can transit once bus/train within 2 hours? it will be inclusive rather than having extra charges.
