Apple Pay are cateva zeci de banci partenere si sute de locatii in care poate fi utilizat, iar la lista de suport adaugam astazi si unul dintre cele mai mari servicii de transfer de bani. Western Union a anuntat in cursul acestei zile integrarea suportului pentru sistemul Apple Pay in locatiile sale, astfel ca orice persoane il vor putea utiliza pentru a trimite bani. In imaginea de mai sus puteti vedea cum va functiona intregul sistem, procedura de plata fiind identica cu cea folosita in cazul oricaror altor magazine fizice.
Launched at Western Union’s flagship 1440 Broadway in New York City—with more participating Western Union Agent locations to follow—customers will be able to use their iPhone 6 to fund a Western Union Money Transfer transaction or bill payment. To use this service, customers must register their debit card on their device and ensure their bank is a participating partner of the Apple Pay service. They can then make a payment simply by holding their phone near the contactless reader with their finger on Touch ID. Consumers’ debit card numbers are not transmitted in payment, nor are they shared with the Western Union Agent.
Avand in vedere ca Western Union este folosit nu doar in SUA, ci si in alte locatii de pe glob, integrarea Apple Pay va permite practic transferurile de bani oriunde in lume prin acest sistem. Colaborarea dintre cele doua companii este totusi surprinzatoare, compania Apple concentrandu-se pana acum doar pe magazine fizice pentru a oferi posibilitatea de a face plati mobile. Totusi, extinderea suportului la Western Union lasa loc unei posibila colaborari cu orice alte sisteme de transfer de bani oriunde pe glob.
