Apple has launched its mobile payments service in Germany, four years after its start in the United States and trailing Google, which started its payments app in the country in June.
Customers at banks such as Deutsche Bank, Commerz bank unit Comdirect, Hypovereinsbank, Wirecard, Hanseatic Bank and of credit card providers Mastercard, Visa, and American Express will from Tuesday be able to use Apple’s Boon app, the companies said in separate statements.
While Apple has already launched its payment services in 20 other countries including France, Poland, and Switzerland, a fight over fees had delayed the start in Germany.
