Since Macedonia is a member of the SEPA from yesterday which means that regulations in the banking systems are in full coordination with the one in EU, and let’s say if 3 months from now pass and we still don’t have the service, can we assume that Apple does not want to provide the service or that our banks are just avoiding the fee/they don’t want to participate?

Three months is a pretty short time frame. There could still be legal restrictions involving use of Face ID, storage of personal data, banks agreeing to terms and conditions, doing software design and integration into their websites and backend development to integrate their credit card approval system into Apple Pay. In my opinion a more realistic timeframe would be 6 to 12 months.

Hello~ Patience will serve best in this situation. I like * Jeff Donald* think that a realistic timeframe would be longer….perhaps 6-12 months as well.

Yes, you’re correct it could be quicker, knowing the further details. The bank itself would be the best position to answer your concerns. If the bank doesn’t apply with Apple, there’s nothing Apple can do to push the issue with the bank.
Have you talked to the bank?
I was saying that timeframe due to the bank is already present in other countries that have Apple pay provided by them, being the same bank under group with unified app that already has biometric Face ID incorporated, so under these circumstances should be much sooner i believe, right?
Yes i had, but prior our acceptance in SEPA, basically they are saying that they are working on it from 2022 which is very unprofessional from their side.
But i am very thankful for your replies.
Why hasn't Apple Pay launched in Macedonia despite SEPA regulations?
