Apple Pay In Australia

According to Computerworld Australia, Suncorp Bank has revealed it will soon support contactless mobile payments on Apple iOS and Google Android devices.

Suncorp is one of the first banks in Australia to confirm support for Apple Pay. Westpac has indicated it will work with Apple to open up iPhone payments to its banking app, while Commonwealth Bank has said it would examine the digital wallet.

Near Field Communications (NFC) chips have been included in Android-based phones for some time now, but Apple did not include the technology until the iPhone 6.
