BRD Romania he has bad news for many of his clients in Romania, one that many did not expect to hear, but unfortunately it seems that a solution for what is happening now cannot be found too quickly. As you already know very well, BRD Romania launched the Apple Pay service for its customers from all over the country a few months ago, but unfortunately only Maestro and Mastercard cards can be added to the system.
BRD Romania it avoided offering support including for VISA cards, which are available in a much larger number for customers all over the country, and at the moment the bank has no plans to extend the availability to other cards as well. It is curious the decision of those from BRD Romania not to offer customers the possibility to add VISA cards for use in Apple Pay, and it is the only bank where there is a limitation of this kind for customers.
BRD Romania: IMPORTANT announcement, BAD News for Customers
BRD Romania it has always been a more "special" bank, but its decision is one of the strangest and worst for customers, especially since VISA cards are the most used in our country, but maybe not at this bank. If BRD Romania's decision is not based on the fact that the vast majority of its clients have Maestro and Mastercard cards, then it is an unexpectedly stupid one, especially since the rest of the banks were able to offer support for all types of cards.
BRD Romania will more than likely add support for VISA cards in Apple Pay, but it is not known how long it will take to make the decision to take this very important step for many of its customers. The use of Apple Pay in Romania is at a very high level, and this is mainly due to the fact that there are many Romanians with compatible cards, which may also happen at BRD Romania, if the vast majority have Mastercard and Maestro cards.
BRD Romania will notify customers when VISA cards can be added to Apple Pay, so we just have to be patient for the official announcement to come from the bank at some point.
