I rather stick to my AMEX. 
I really believe they had it almost ready and then something between them an Apple happened. Nobody would make those announcements when there wouldnât be anything to back that up. My guess is that they arenât allowed to talk about it because of the NDA.

If you think about it, it is strange to even require an NDA to just make, what it seems like, a technical integration of two systems to work together.
But I know, technical stuff will not be the issue, itâs the money that Apple likes to get. And as much as possible, thatâs why they are so protective.

I donât see it being released in the EU due to the fact itâs meant to offer cashback on everything. EU caps and all that jazz
I think we all prefer money in our pockets/account than cash back from some credit card providers, so EU is doing good by capping.

Itâs illegal under law enacted within member states due to EU directives to charge for card usage, so Iâd rather the cap be removed 
I was just thinking, what if Apple does not want to enable Apple Pay for Revolut due to their involvement with crypto ? Something is really weird, as itâs taking too much time for an easy implementation. Why was so easy for Monese ?
I donât think crypto is a big deal here. You canât do external transfers soâŠ

I totally agree with you, @Recchan. Although I strongly support the EU, the 0.3% cap on interchange fees is one of the worst pieces of EU legislation. It is badly thought out and badly implemented. It stifles the very-developed UK credit card industry, which closely resembles the US credit card industry. Despite this, youâll never hear a Brexit supporter cite it as a problem.

So do I. I try to explain to people who are against it interfering with local companies that the EU is in a single market to drive competition and trade between the countries, so theyâre not interfering with British companies, theyâre competing with European Union companies. I think we need tighter monetary union and the deletion of Article 50 though. We shouldnât give a way out of the Bloc.
Exactly. Iâd rather them take 2% interchange so I can get some good cashback 
just ban card fees, heck, even donât do that. Retailers will just have to succumb to the market when their customers go to somewhere that doesnât charge 
Brexit supporters can only parrot ideologies given to them by an idiot! No one will ever change my mind on this.
European Union guys should open their eyes a little though, its not all rainbows in the bloc. Its just a lot warmer inside it than out

I donât think so. When Apple started last autumn in Germany, Apple posted a âcoming in 2019â section with Revolut on their website. Revolut was then offering crypto for years already. I just canât see Apple putting a partner logo on their website when they have major concerns about a partnership even happening.

Exactly. In fact, ask a quitter to cite any EU legislation they have a problem with, and they canât. They perceive all EU legislation as imposed upon the UK by Brussels, whereas the reality is that, particularly with consumer legislation, it is imposed by London upon the rest of the EU.

They also forget that the UK MEPâs agree with 95%ish of legislation to go through EU Parliament 
while only strictly opposing 2%
So its not like Westminster would stray too far from the EU laws wise regardless. Theyâd just strip more of our civil liberties away under the guise of terrorism prevention

I guess that they will release it by the end of March 
As they said Q1 (January, February and March)
