Malaysian banks are so stupid not supporting Apple Pay and prefer to watch as Boost, TnG and Grab take their market share. Apple Pay & Android Pay are their only weapon to fight back eWallet incumbents!

Local banks are resisting Apple Pay because need to share some % with Apple. Who would share profits with a competitor anyway?

Well would you rather share tiny amount of fee or let your customers go to new incumbents? This is a business decision that smart executives would know best. But our execs are mostly dumb asses!

Problem is exchange rate would kill you unless you are a tourist.

I agree, coz i see ppl start using ewallet more than credit cards.
But think about it, most people topup their ewallet using credit card (like me and my wife). Maybe there are bank charges to those ewallet company like how they charge merchants whose accept credit card? That's why they don't really care about it yet?

Yes but long term e-wallets will figure out ways to cut CC off to improve their margins once they dominate the market. Common bait and switch tactics:
