I believe this is it:
Yeah but, âFrance firstâ may throw a spanner in the works for this âhugeâ thing.
Could also be PlatinumâŚ
In the other thread @anon33247966 has written that next thing will be Google Pay, but he hasnât gave us any timeframe⌠So thatâs why I hope this is it 
I said hopefully it will be Google Pay!

Andreas, twisting your words now, âhopefuly it will be Google Payâ could actually mean that Apple Pay could be firstâŚand soon? Like in a couple of months?

To be quite frank, Revolut have been telling me that Apple Pay for payments is âcoming soonâ for at least a year and a half. Their definition of âsoonâ is, um, slightly misleading, Iâd say.

If Iâm right, to activate Apple Pay you also have to live in a country that supports Apple Pay. Right?
So, if Iâm living in Germany and Revolut activate Apple Pay, I will not be able to use it.
Itâs the same with N26, no Apple Pay in Germany. But its supported in several European countries.

Well⌠Itâs hard to say. Iâm able to use Boon by Wirecard with my Czech ID. And Apple Pay is not officially supported in Czechia right now. Even though we have nearly 100% of terminals contactless⌠

It doesnât really matter where youâre located as long as youâve got a card that works with Apple Pay

Except for unsupported workarounds (like changing oneâs country settings), you are correct.

Iâm using N26 located in Germany and I canât activate it. I tried even to change my country and my apple id country to a supported Apple Pay country with no luck.
From customer support they told my that apple pay its geo restricted
From what I understand, N26 issues different cards for each country, so the ones issued for Germany arenât going to be enabled to work with Apple Pay

Why are you calling changing region settings as an unsupported workaround? Itâs a feature, not a workaround - if you live in country where AP is unsupported, but you obtain a card issued by institution that supports Apple Pay, you must change region to match the country of card issuer or any other country that officially supports AP.
âHidingâ wallet and Apple Pay setting is not to prevent users that legally obtained a valid Apple Pay enabled card from adding it, rather not to confuse âregular dudesâ

You are right, but there are a lot of people having cards from all around Europe, even from different continent. Itâs kinda awful, choosing only one region to be able to use Apple Pay.
As far as I remember you only have to change the country/region once, initially, in settings to activate Wallet and add a card to Apple Pay.
Once installed you can reset the country to wherever and Wallet continues to function, as does Apple Pay.

Yes, but during this process, Apple is contacting the card provider and if he is not part of Apple Pay yet, youâre SOL
I managed to setup boon. from the Irish App Store and Iâm since happily using Apple Pay in Germany.
Yes of course. The card must be approved for Apple Pay, come what may.
I donât understand that either. Itâs neither hack nor workaround.
I can kind of understand this âfeeling of illegalityâ. When you create an Apple ID for a different country, you have to enter an address. So youâre stating that you are living in that foreign country (letâs say Ireland), which is simply not true.
Even if âillegalâ might not be the right term for that, itâs at least understandable if he feels that way.
This is exactly which I refrain from doing such a trick, although I would absolutey love to use Apple Pay in Germany.
But especially when money is concerned, I like to stay on the safe side.
