some LRT stations have machine that accept Mydebit card, not sure whether work for Apple Pay anot

I think now pasarana has it own app called justpay
But i never try

Quick update guys, I can say with reasonable certainty that the Apple Pay will be launched in Malaysia in less than two weeks' time.

I think they are referring to Spay.

Actually when they discontinued Maybank Pay, it was because of the launch of DuitNow QR (Paynet BNM)

This will certainly draw more Android users to jump camp to Apple since there is nothing much on Android that is as good as Apple Pay.

iPay88 macam dun hv terminals. What he saw is the online payment type only as there’s no offline/terminal one for iPay88. Terminals have to go korek eGHL or watever that orange terminal (99 speedmart is using) company for more info. Other terminals are bank based d.
*suddenly rmb, can korek Fasspay also. They got the numpad like terminal too.

Google pay also appear on android shopee app

Ok just checked on Android Shopee based on RonanGow's post, and it is indeed there, has there been any news about iPay88 working on Google Pay integration? Or any local market integration?



(Captured on DeX and this is what showed after clicking Buy With GPay)

Left being Google Pay and right being GPay (Newer version of Google Pay)

Unfortunately can't screenshot the actual payment page with the card/gmail page due to security policy of Android. Maybe Shopee is just trying to integrate both AP/GP despite availability? Not sure..
Nvm googled and it seems like GP has been available from iPay88 since 2019, but only for payment terminal processing and not actual contactless (Wave) payment.. so ehhh?

Oh and it even works

time to move to android.....hahahaha. either apple or google. both equal share.

According to history, iPay88 has actually implemented Google Pay back in 2019, however at that time it was only limited to purchases in Play Store.

But perhaps more importantly, I think we should look into whether the appearance of Google Pay in Malaysia's Shopee app occurred at the same time as Apple Pay. If true, chances could either be:

  - Google Pay would arrive in near future following Apple Pay's release
  - they accidentally toggled the Gpay option while updating the app to finally support AP

Thought I might have seen it before but I might have gaslighted myself into thinking it wasn't there before, but with how things are with NFC payment in Malaysia currently, I won't be surprised if Google Pay/Wallet (Or whatever it's officially called) comes to MY market before the year ends. But if it still isn't here, hey we still have SP/AP (Hopefully relatively soon). More options for us consumers to choose from the better, so we don't have to be locked into one ecosystem at least

Yep was about to say the same, I'm done tho but if anyone here is interested in opening another thread, I'm down to get into GP at that thread as well

People mostly use ewallets for the rewards given anyways, not for the convenience of it. Pulling out your phone + opening app + preparing to scan is way more inconvenient than just pulling out your phone and double tapping the lock button to bring up AP/SP

Don’t get me wrong but I personally do also use both e wallets/NFC payment, but in the situation where NFC and e wallets are both available, I’ll choose to use NFC over e wallets almost all the time, unless for some reason their terminals is having issues with contactless. Really is frustrating how cashless adoption is still done so poorly.

It really makes the difference, whether you put the flier in premise or enabling AP service on ecommerce platform. But of course the former one would look more like a serious "leak", because technically (and legally) AP memang haven't released in Malaysia yet, but then someone suddenly put up a sign saying "XX accepted here". Think about it how Apple would see that as an offence.

Those ecommerce like Shopee on the other hand, would have a very valid excuse like "I just toggle teh switch now only mah". Cuz at the end of the day for what Shopee/Adidas do, they don't explicitly put it as "XX has been released in Malaysia" that kind of sense.

TLDR: It's a legal word game.

Seeing that Apple Pay is very likely to launch soon, I hope that Rapid KL would seriously consider adopting "Open-Loop Payment (OLP)" so that passengers could pay with Credit/Debit cards that they already own.

Understand that Rapid KL might have had a trial back in 2020 (seems to only involve our local debit network scheme, MyDebit), I sincerely hope that they would at least offer support for Visa and Mastercard (V/MC) if they ever adopt OLP as this would ensure that:
1. Apple Pay and other Mobile Wallets (Samsung / Google Wallet) users would be able to pay with their phones.
Note: Yet to see any indication that Apple Pay would launch with support for MyDebit, tho in other countries such as Australia it is possible to use dual-network cards in Apple Pay (Australia: V/MC + eftpos; in Malaysia's case: V/MC + MyDebit; Google: "Use dual-network debit cards with Apple Pay in Australia"). Don't think Samsung Wallet supports MyDebit yet as well.

2. Foreign visitors have an option to not need to go through the hassle to acquire a TnG card upon arriving.
Note: I cannot stress how smooth sailing my experience was getting onto public transport networks in London and Sydney as both transit systems have adopted OLP and would accept any Visa, Mastercard or even AmEx payment cards. Both transit systems still offer the pre-existing Closed-Loop payment scheme in addition to OLP (London: Oyster Card; Sydney: Opal Card) and passengers have the benefit of added options (my experience in Sydney: 50/50 between OLP and Opal with the younger generation preferring the former). Despite using OLP, I still get similar or exact benefits as I would be getting with Oyster/Opal cards (daily and weekly fare caps).

Based on an article I found online (Google: "Visa Reports 50 Open-Loop Launches and Strong Growth in Transactions for First Half of Fiscal Year"), 50 new OLP launches were recorded in the year ending Q1 2022 and in total >500 travel agencies currently supports Visa as a payment method. This shows that OLP is one of the key trends in public transport going into the future. A quick search seems to indicate that Rapid KL has adopted Vix Technology's fare collection system. Vix has the capability to deploy OLP given that they have deployed several elsewhere.

Some examples of OLP adoption within the transit systems (based on secondary research; just Google: "Open-Loop Transit [city name]"):
1. Singapore
2. Bangkok (potentially still in trial)
3. Hong Kong (thousands of busses; Octopus Card (HK's TnG equivalent) could be added to AP)
4. London
5. Sydney
6. New York
7. Vancouver
8. Portland
9. Brussels
10. Stockholm
11. Multiple French cities
12. Venice (Considering)
13. Barcelona (Considering)

Maybe Xavier Naxa would be interested in launching a petition on this to hopefully convince Rapid KL that there is a demand for OLP and (in relevance to this thread) so that Apple Pay users would be able to maximise this highly likely soon-to-launch feature?
