AFAIK, Starling uses Global Processing Services (GPS) rather than rolling their own. GPS supports Apple Pay, making Starlings implementation ridiculously simple compared to the work involved for Monzo.
If Monzo stuck with GPS, we’d have Apply Pay by now, however we’d also have all the issues that come with GPS.
How does that outweigh the issues in waiting for everything to be completed with Monzos in house payment processor
Starling is alot further ahead right?
Equallly, there are no actual facts here which suggest that Apple Pay is anything more than an intangible desire that Monzo would love to offer at some unspecified point, unless you can present me with one?
That, plus its conspicious absence on the roadmap, worry me that it’s not exactly round the corner, which, for a bank of the future, I find strange and worrying.
If you pay enough attention, sometimes you see things you shouldn’t (no details, you’ll just have to take my word on that), hence my offer.
Is it here yet? 
soon … 
Anybody else get the feeling @alexs and @anon95680666 know something they shouldn’t?
Tut tut. Did Monzo break their NDA?
No they didn’t 
I can officially announce and categorically state I think it’s coming soon 
I don’t work for Monzo - not signed anything
Tom has though, right? 
no idea - thats your assumption
Wow… I think this is the most we’ve heard from anyone at monzo… today? Like when I ask my mum and she says soon it normally means like 15 minutes.
Confirmed Apple pay in 15 minutes boys!
Haha mate. Soon in my mum’s house means like another hour 
I can wait an hour! 
I would willingly pay £50 to be proved incorrect* - I really, really want to be!! I’m so passionate about this because I think Monzo have the right idea - their service is excellent and, whilst I’m frustrated with the lack of new features, I get this is a long haul. I’m just concerned that the lack of info and the continual ‘we’d really like it to’ responses are suggesting a basic feature which I’ve been waiting for now for a whole year isn’t imminent.
But if I’m wrong, then I will be the happiest incorrect gentleman alive. 
*paid in annual instalments of 5p, first payment deferred until 2054 
@alexs that was the right way to answer that question. No they didn’t implies that there is an NDA that you know about 
@anneboden is this true?
I thought no one believed anything I’ve said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So he did break NDA?
