Apple has entered in a tie up with ANZ Bank to offer Apple Pay digital wallet service to the latter’s customers in Australia. ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott said the introduction of Apple Pay is a significant milestone in the bank’s strategy to use digital technology to provide customers with a superior experience and will be a watershed moment in the adoption of mobile payments in Australia. With the high adoption rates of contactless payments in Australia, the customers will be world leaders in their ability to use their mobiles to make the vast bulk of essential payments, he said. Apple Pay allows users to register credit cards on devices such as iPhones, and pay for goods and services by swiping the devices over contactless payment terminals.
