London-based fintech company Curve plans to launch an alternative to Apple Wallet, leveraging recent regulatory changes to offer users more payment options on their iPhones.
2024 is turning out to be a big year for e-payment apps across the Nordics, but is there any chance that you will be able to use Vipps MobilePay across borders before the summer starts?
The bloc's regulator had charged Apple with restricting access to its tap-and-go mobile payment systems, based on the independent technology called Near-Field Communication (NFC), as it made it difficult for rivals to develop alterative payment options for iOS-based devices and compete with Apple Pay and Wallet apps.
"If Apple keeps their promise, this is a real game changer for mobile wallets."
"We have offered commitments to provide third-party developers in the European Economic Area with an option that will enable their users to make NFC contactless payments from within their iOS apps, separate from Apple Pay and Apple Wallet," Apple said in an emailed statement.
