Apple Wallet to integrate with Open Banking APIs

Back on topic maybe…

We now know that more banks are involved and there’s poor reporting going on

Yes, but it’s not a tone issue. It’s an implication, and depending how it’s taken, quite inflammatory. A number of us have certainly construed it in that way.

Article says it’ll be part of an upcoming dev beta release, so hopefully soon. I’m quite excited to use it.

Anyway…

Is this something people want/care about? Surely there will be more/better detail in my actual banking app?

Come to think of it I don’t actually know if I’d survive seeing my balance that often.

I quite liked the days when you only knew what it was when you only dared to press the ‘see balance’ button on the ATM instead of your usual ‘cash no balance’ :smiley:

Where has this actually been announced. I can only see two articles about this and nothing from Apple.

When out shopping about to buy something, I don’t check my banking app before using Samsaung Wallet. Having the info directly on the app which you use to pay helps you have a better understanding of your fiannces and if you should be buying it etc.

I personally only buy stuff I know I can definitely afford, but for some, that extra bit of information in a clear place will help with budgeting etc.

I want it. Been looking forward to it ever since it was rumoured.

The banking apps have exactly the same data to work with as Apple. It all comes down to who builds the better front end. The most valuable feature of Monzo Plus for me was the connected accounts feature. Easy. Especially with how it plugged it all into trends to interpret that data in a much better way than their respective banking apps can. And it’s all in one place.

There’s no reason Apple can’t replicate that same implementation, or even best it. And more importantly, they do it for free, and with zero compromise to privacy.

I didn’t until recently realise that you could see a transaction history there. I only ever use the wallet when I double tap to at. Maybe I’m an anomaly.

It is rather poor. No linked source from Apple or otherwise announcing the feature. So I’d take the entire article with a pinch of salt.

Wait you can what now? I didn’t know this either. I suppose it’s not a feature I want to the extent I won’t even bother to go looking for where this is. But you are definitely not the only one.

Wallet (via the app, not double tap), tap the card.

Just to be clear, with the exception of AMEX (who push all transaction data to the wallet app already), it only shows you transactions you’ve made on that device with Apple Pay.

This is the same as Google wallet just to say. You see the transactions for the card on the device only.

The source would be the release notes for the iOS 17.1 beta.

which are currently nowhere to be found

You can either wait for it to install and find them then, or wait until the developer portal has propagated for you.

It appears to have quite a few issues for those hoping to go and play with it.
