We have new information about the entrance to the Polish payment system Android Pay. All the time remain valid reports of plans to introduce to our country Apple and Samsung Pay Pay.
The Poles love the contactless payments. Rankings leave no illusions – on the Vistula prefer to use this method than many other countries, which are often more advanced than us. And although my personal observations somehow do not confirm that, because when I’m standing in the checkout line, then the question “contactless or PIN” many buyers still choose goal number two. However, the official statistics and hard numbers, it is difficult to argue. Therefore curiously we accept signals with the planned entry into the Polish services: Pay Android, Samsung and Apple Pay Pay.
Google Payments, Samsung and Apple are different, but in fact, offer similar functionality. All rely on the use of mobile devices to authorize contactless payments. Just tap the smartphone, or watch the terminal, confirm that you want to pay and you’re done.
With these solutions, customers already pay in the United States, but not only there. Apple Pay also operates in the UK, Canada, Australia and China. We know, however, that both Apple and Samsung and Google are working to services covered reach of many other countries. What natural, we are most interested availability information in Poland.
Android Pay in Poland
About the planned entry into service Google was said for some time. However, only now got official confirmation that Google actually talking to banks about to start the service on the Vistula River, and you can expect it in the third quarter. 2016.
Providing fell during the conference Poland Payments Summit, during the presentation of Erika Wool from Google, which announced Cashless service.
– this year we would like to introduce Android Pay a few markets that are priority for us. Poland belongs to them. We expect the first implementations in Poland in the third quarter. Detailed information on this pass summer – said Erika Wool, Google.
not disclosed yet the list of banks with which negotiations are underway. However, as recalled Cashless, banks wishing to implement at home service payments Android Pay must first implement into their system platform tokenizacyjną MasterCard or Visa. Until now, they did include Alior, Millennium, ING and BZ WBK.
Samsung Pay in Poland
According to unofficial sources, we know that Samsung is planning to launch its own payment system in our country.
Initially, Samsung Pay service works only in the United States and South Korea, but soon began to talk about China, Spain and the UK. Spider’s Web with their sources learned that there is also a chance to run this payment system in Poland.
underway in advanced talks with local banks, and if they will be resolved successfully, this smartphone Samsung pay for purchases even in 2016 . Initially, it was said about the second quarter, but now a real date, as in the case of Google Pay the third quarter.

Apple Pay in Poland
If the payment system Apple’s lack of official information. the service is implemented on the following markets, but so far successfully skirted Poland.
Spider’s Web learned, however, that in the case of Apple and banks operating in Poland is also underway conversation. already in February we reported about it on our twitter:
So far failed to get additional information.
however, you can assume that Apple Pay will debut in Poland later than Android pay and Samsung pay. These two, related to Android services seem to have in our country much more sense – a lot of smartphones with Android on the Polish market, a lot of potential users. And according to various analyzes iPhones in Poland represent only 3% of all smartphones, and it might be for Apple’s not enough to move quickly to implement the service.
On the other hand, users of iPhones willingly pay applications, intensive use of the Internet and … spend more money on their smartphones. This can be the rationale behind the fact that it is they who will banks and Apple Pay better customers than having numerical advantage holders cells with Android.
Psst! Spider’s Web is on Twitter – look to us and see what we do.
