Apple Pay activation is underway at Crédit Mutuel like customers could see it this weekend. The specialized site My neobank gives a more precise calendar for the future and depending on whether you have a Mastercard or Visa card.
- January 3, 2020: customers of the Massif Central federation can use Apple Pay;
- End of January 2020: opening to Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale & CIC customers with a Mastercard (in general, the Apple Pay valves are open on Tuesdays, note)
- End of April 2020: launch for Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale & CIC customers with a Visa
Depending on where you fall within this schedule, you may want to take advantage of Apple Pay without waiting for spring. My neobank then suggests switching from a Visa card to a Mastercard. An operation which can be carried out by the advisor and which is not normally invoiced. The site has also drawn up a comparative of the two solutions in broad outline.
As for the customers of the Monabanq subsidiary, the fact that it is the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale teams that manage the infrastructure, assumes that they will switch to Apple Pay in April too… provided that Monabanq plans to do so.
The establishment is not in the list of banks officially announced for Apple Pay, but it becomes difficult to find who shun Apple’s solution. In addition, the arrival of Crédit Mutuel makes us relatively optimistic in this regard.
