When will Apple Pay & Google Pay come to South Africa?

accreditation

We speak to Shadab Rahil, Managing Director at Paradigm Group, watch him tell us what 2016 has in store when it comes to mobile payments. 

Rahil tells Jennifer Sanasie, "2016 will be a big year, they're going to triple the amount of value that goes through mobile payments in America." With Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay being the big players overseas, we asked Rahil when we can expect to see these mobile payment heavyweights in South Africa. 

South Africa is a heavily banked sector, Rahil talks us through the challenges that South Africa faces when it comes to mobile payments.
