Rumor: Apple Pay could launch in Austria today

There tends to be nuggets of truth in almost all rumors.

The current rumor is that Apple Pay Australia will launch today, although it’s unknown as to which banks will support it upon launch.

The following translated quote was offered by a source close to the story:

As a partner Apple could win the Erste Bank and Sparkasse and the online bank N26…The question is whether Apple launches its service far too late in Austria. Many banks have already equipped their cards with the NFC function years ago, so fast payments are already possible in this way.
