Crédit Mutuel (and CIC) clients are on the verge of winning the Holy Grail Apple Pay, as announced early December. Crédit Mutuel Massif Central has started to open the gateways to activating bank cards for its customers, as is the case for Tristan Sacha who was able to register his MasterCard and pay with Apple Pay afterwards, from his Apple Watch.
Beyond Crédit Mutuel Massif Central (CMMC), this is good news for all of Crédit Mutuel: unlike Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, which has decided to live its life outside the “historic” grouping, the Massif subsidiary Central joined the National Confederation of Crédit Mutuel on January 1.
By switching from Arkéa to Crédit Mutuel, the CMMC had to switch its 112,000 customers to a “new” bank, while remaining in the old one. An acrobatics that required new IBANs, bank cards, check books, identifiers and passwords … If the Apple Pay deployment within the CMMC “new formula” is underway, this is not yet the case for Credit customers “Classic” mutual insurance. Fabien, client of CM in Strasbourg, received negative messages while trying to register his Visa and MasterCard:
Generally, “official” Apple Pay activation takes place on Tuesday. Maybe good news next week?
