Once the excitement has abated and we start thinking through what we can actually do with ApplePay here in Australia, there is an exciting upside but also significant hiccups that appear.
The good news is that with Apple finally joining the NFC (Near Field Communication) bandwagon, a long raging debate is over. NFC combined with the use of Tokens is now the accepted standard. It remains to be seen, but Apple would most probably have designed the EMV compliant secure element and setup an EMV card in the iPhone that would work transparently with contactless EFTPOS terminals. If not, this would have led to Apple facing lengthy certifications for changes in terminal hardware / software and even worse upgrades in the field.
Australia would be well prepared as it has already rolled out more than 300,000 contactless terminals, contrary to the US. Tyro’s brand new contactless 3G terminal fleet supports Visa Paywave / Mastercard Paypass card and most certainly ApplePay on the new iPhone or iWatch.
But now some of the headaches.
In conclusion, Tyro welcomes Apple’s announcement to become a player in the new world payment eco-system. Their efforts will take time to eventuate, but eventually it will give our merchants and their consumers more choice. Innovation is good.
Finally, a word of warning: the payments world is complex with its network dependencies, interoperability and security requirements and regulatory oversight. Change will be a somewhat slower pace than what we see in the new world otherwise.
