Apple Pay: Westpac, NAB have no timetable for implementation

Westpac and National Australia Bank customers will have to wait awhile to use Apple Pay, with both banks unwilling to give any indication when they would provide the digital payment option.

A Westpac spokesperson did not refer to any factor that was holding the bank back from offering Apple Pay, but told iTWire in response to a query: “We continually review how we help our customers with their mobile banking needs and remain open to considering Apple Pay for our Australian customers.”

The spokesperson said the bank offered Google Pay, Westpac Banking Skill (Amazon Alexa) & Westpac for Google Assistant, Siri for Westpac, PayWear, and Beem It.

Brent Southey, NAB general manager Digital Channels, gave no direct answer either, saying: “We continue to look at all options to provide our customers with access to safe and secure ways to make digital payments, and to provide choice to customers no matter what device they own. When we have more to say about options like Apple Pay we’ll let our customers know.”
