Anyone else seeing a 'Phishing attack ahead'? Chrome is complaining that Google Safe browsing detected an ongoing phishing attack.
I really hope this doesn't end up fragmenting the NFC payments space. Only Apple Pay is accepted in one place, and only Google Wallet is accepted in another. Both of these technologies work with contactless card readers, let's just stick with that.
Aren't they both digital abstractions over NFC payments (e.g. PayPass)? I have a feeling on the terminal side, it looks just like like a plastic card with PayPass.
From a company that keeps your pictures secure comes secure credit card wallet, you couldn't make it up :rollseyes:

One interesting unrelated development: the US is moving to chip-and-PIN cards next year. Merchants that don't move over to the new system (in other words, those that still take signatures instead of having you do the chip-and-PIN thing) will be responsible for fraud that occurs in their stores... so merchants will switch. If merchants are getting new credit card terminals anyhow, it seems likely they'd get NFC compat…
My Bank of America Visa recently expired, and the new one they sent me has what appears to be chip and pin. Weirdly, there is no information in the included pamphlet about the technology. I assume they're just preemptively putting the cards out there.

Does this work on the web or just in-app? What is Apple's Commission?
The biggest “surprise” over last 2 months is that Apple has squeezed 15-25bps from the 5-6 participating banks at launch (C, BAC, COF, JPM, Amex and perhaps WFC).

Hate it when articles don't define their acronyms. PAN = primary account number. EMV = Europay, MasterCard, Visa. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMV

It sounds like they both definitely work with your standard contactless card reader. My worry is that Apple will have an Apple only reader as well. I'm not saying that I think they will, but I wouldn't be surprised, either.
