| Aussie banks moan that Apple is a bunch of drongos "Intransigent, closed and controlling" and not fair dinkum Three Australian banks have moaned to the country’s anti-trust watch dingo that the Apple Pay service is not fair dinkum. The trio, who clearly never read Fudzilla, were surprised that Apple was “intransigent, closed and controlling" and accused it of attempting to freeload on their contactless payments infrastructure while slowing innovation in digital wallets. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank, Westpac Banking Corp and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank said that the engineering of Apple iPhones prevent them from delivering mobile wallets to millions. This is because Apple Pay is the only application that works with the iPhone's "near field communication" (NFC) antenna, which communicates with payment terminals. http://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/4187...nch-of-drongos |
