Yes, it seems that the day has come, and after two years of the launch of Apple Pay in United States seems the guys at Cupertino have reached an agreement with several financial institutions in Spain, to launch Apple Pay in Spain. The wait has been long, but who knows if this delay brings us a much more stable service that launched there by September 2014 in the United States.
The Banco Santander is one of the first to start Apple Pay, news leaked yesterday in several Spanish blogs specialized in the Apple world that confirms that the largest bank in Spain would be the first OK add your credit cards to the financial payments from Apple, Apple Pay service. Many have been who have asked about the subject, many others will surely be interested in opening an account at a Spanish bank, but wait… And is that a release of this type do not can be is only in an only bank… Carrefour also joins Apple Pay, it will do so with the PASS card from its subsidiary services financial Carrefour…
In the picture that heads the post you can see the virtual card that you will create to add the Card PASS to your Apple Pay, we have tested and can be perfectly (you will leave the legal terms of services financial Carrefour). Great news already that in this case we will not have to go through a bank to make use of Apple Pay. We do not want to advertise this credit card, but we say that it consists of a free card that allows payment cash or credit, and offers interest-free financing. In addition all the purchases made with the card PASS will accumulate per cent somewhat that you revert in Carrefour vouchers, which they call “ChequeAhorro”.
Something very interesting because you can use this card with any of your bank accounts since the card will use your usual Bank to make the corresponding income to make ends meet, or in the term that you are established. An agreement of Apple Pay and Carrefour which takes several months in the kitchen but that not has been able to speak before being a brand strategy. Imagine the the Carrefour card PASS will be issued in the coming months…
