Although it may seem strange, there are not a few banks -known and not so well-known- that are not compatible with both the Google and Apple payment platforms.
In fact, there are many banks that are shared, while there are some, such as CaixaBank, which is compatible with one and not with another. For this reason, we offer you a list of all the banks that are not compatible with your mobile.
Banks not compatible with Google Wallet
When we talk about banks that are not compatible with Google Wallet, strange as it may seem, there are more banks than we think at first. There are compatibilities both in terms of banks and cards, so if you want to use any of the ones on the following list, you should know that it is not compatible:
- Advanzia Bank
- Bank Roads
- CaixaBank
- cajamar
- cetelem
- Deutsche Bank
- The English Court
- imagine
As you can see, banks that are so well known and used in our country, such as CaixaBank and its spin-off Image, are not at all compatible with your Google Wallet, which does not mean that you will not be able to pay with your mobile if you are one of these banks. . The only thing you will have to do is use an app that does allow you to perform this kind of payments.
In this case, what you can do is use an app that creates a prepaid card for you, such as Revoult or BNext. In this way, you can recharge said card from your bank and later include the prepaid card within the Google Wallet appso if you have problems paying as you want, it is one of the ways to have ‘your bank’ in your wallet.
The case of Apple Pay
Fortunately, contrary to what happens with Google Wallet, Apple Pay, one of the pioneering platforms in mobile payments, is compatible with practically all the banks that we find throughout the world. All those that we have found as compatible in Google Wallet, we will find as compatible in Apple devices… all but one.
In this case, it is not the problem of a specific bank, but rather it is a card that is not going to be compatible. This is the El Corte Inglés card. And it is that the company has recently released a new card that can also act as a credit card and we can use it to pay with the mobile. It is a recent card that has not been on the market for too long yet. Therefore, we understand that simply It’s a matter of time before we can use itboth on Apple and Google phones.
At the moment the only alternative to be able to pay in any store with this card on your Apple phone is to be able to do so via wayleta mobile payment app in which we can include the El Corte Inglés card.
