Malaysia’s AmBank Posts Then Pulls Apple Pay Messaging

09 AUGUST 2022 - A bit of an oops for a bank in Malaysia. Apple Insider says “AmBank published pages to its website detailing its support for Apple Pay over the weekend.” Slight problem though - they jumped the gun. “The pages were briefly visible before being taken down,” according to the report, “with the portal hidden from view as of Monday morning.”

All of that said, Apple Insider indicates that AmBank supporting Apple Pay has been a question of “when” not “if” for at least a few weeks. The bank “teased a launch via text messages in July.” The recent screwup has the news site thinking the answer to “when” is probably “soon.”
