   I get why the banks are not happy, but I can tell them that I am not going to use Chase Wallet, Bank of America Wallet, Citi Wallet...just pay the fee and be thankful for the reduced payment friction, which they invariably make money from. PS: Nobody is going to use Paze (yet another half baked wallet), other than to collect the free $10 to sign up for it.

   Somewhat related, even Walmart relented and now supports Apple Pay/Contactless. Every big merchant has now relented (Kroger, Home Depot, Walmart).

      Or Apple Pay can just be like Google Wallet is on Android? The alternative is not multiple apps.

            if apple wallet works on android and I have a choice, that's competititon

            if apple wallet requires apple phone, and google wallet require android phone, that not competition.

            competition is good. no competition should be regulated out of existence.
