Uptake of their existing Android solution is pretty good (with only limited handset) support so I imagine it'll be pretty big.
Not a surprise with ANZ being the Apple Pay launch partner in NZ - seeing that over in Australia it was ANZ as well.
Internet is my backyard...

Interesting that its restricted to only VISA.
What's wrong with contactless cards that already exist? To need a $1200 phone to make a payment , vs a 5 cent piece of plastic doesn't do it for me. You still need a wallet when going out anyway.

You could buy my iphone 6 for a fraction of that...
I wonder to what extend this legal challenge is delaying the rollout of Apple Pay in Australia and, ultimately, New Zealand? Apparently it involves "Australia's three largest banks" which I assume would include ANZ, so maybe they've given up and decided to go along with Apple's solution?

That's actually very interesing reading. It's very clear that Apple seem to have very little understanding of the Australian banking market - Australia already have the highest usage of NFC payments in the world, and yet take issue with the banks wanting NFC access because Apple don't think this is necessary. Other countries Apple are quoting (including the US) have minimal takeup of NFC in comparision.
