Apple Pay

Is there any sign of Apple Pay being supported by BOI anytime soon? Either debit or credit card?

Hi eeloe

Thanks for your interest in mobile payments, we've not been advised of any immediate plans to introduce phone payments.

If this is to change in the future we'll certainly let customers know across our social media channels.

Thanks again for your interest,

Alison

KBC have had this feature since March 2017 and AIB have had this feature since July 2017.. I asked the same question to 365 online early September to be told

"Thank you for contacting the Online Service Desk. We are not aware of any immediate plans to implement Apple Pay or Android Play but as soon as an update is available, this will be publicly communicated. "

Can we get a real answer from BOI when they plan to implement this? I've been with BOI for over 15 years and always paid my high "notified fees". It would be great if some of that could be put to better use!

Move to KBC. I did, took a few days. All sorted.

While I didn’t want the hassle of changing banks completely, I did what Apple Pay. It’s a complete joke that BOI don’t offer it.

I opened an online account with N26 specifically to use Apple Pay and haven’t looked back.

Even their app is miles ahead of the BOI one.

We expect to integrate phone payments in the future," a spokesman for the bank told Independent.ie.

"However we are not in a position to confirm timings"

Nothing new there. That's the same message they have been giving on this. It's like saying I expect to take a ****e later but I'm not in a position to confirm when it'll happen.

Boi are putting a huge investment into technology over the next couple of years and expect to be a technology leader. 

That's what they are saying to shareholders anyway

Oh sure, the best way to catch up in technology is to be years behind your smallest competitor. This big migration we all hear about has been going on for years so the troops on the ground tell me. I'm not holding my breath.

Been with BOI about 23 years at this stage, if they don't get the finger out with Apple pay I'll be following suit and leaving too.

Seriously. It's not as painful as people think. You can have both open till you are fully over too.

Still no word on this from Bank of Ireland?

Getting their phone app to work properly would be a decent first step

It sounds like vaporware from BOI.. I never heard of N26, looks promising and will do a bit of homework on it.. 

Thanks Adox!
