This is just a fun little anecdote on this subject.
Two years ago we made a stop in Melsungen. On the main square there is a Penny Markt. We bought a few things and since i use Apple Pay from my iPhone i just put my iphone near the credit card reader. The cash register said “ping” and the lady at the register got a schock! She literally jumped in her seat and looked at me in disbelief as if i had hacked the cashregister ![]()
The costumer behind me in the line had never seen anything like it either and asked me “wie haben sie das gemacht?”.
So i had to show both the cashregister lady and him how my iphone is also a virtual Visa Card. They had never seen that before.
