(中央社記者田裕斌台北11日電)蘋果(Apple)推出iPhone 6及iPhone 6 plus,另一焦點是切入行動支付平台Apple Pay,不過,銀行業者表示,台灣近場通訊(NFC)環境尚未成熟,台資銀行短期難切入。
即使如此,台資銀行依舊積極評估Apple Pay背後的運作機制,待大環境時機到來,可以儘速搶得ApplePay可能帶來的商機。
台新金控個人金融事業群執行長尚瑞強表示,台灣在NFC應用上尚在啟蒙階段,雖然多家銀行業者都與電信業者合作試辦NFC手機,但實際上採用NFC交易的據點仍過少,對於台灣未來可能發展的規模,難以評估。
此外,台灣信託服務管理平台(TSM)也處於百家爭鳴狀態,最後誰能勝出,還在未定之天,對於銀行業者而言,Apple Pay可能是推動台灣NFC市場加速前進的動能。
尚瑞強指出,Apple Pay與VISA及MASTER等國際信用卡組織合作,採iOS封閉系統加上指紋辨識等安全機制,銀行要切入並非難事,除了刷卡交易外,收單交易也是未來銀行積極爭食的大餅。
也有銀行業者對於Apple Pay在台灣的發展,持保留態度,由於目前台灣的NFC主要是結合電信業者,在SIM卡或外接mini SD卡建立NFC通訊,但蘋果的ApplePay是將NFC功能直接內建在手機晶片上,等於跳過電信業者這一環,在推動上平添難度。
銀行業者認為,要切入Apple Pay主要需經過金融監督管理委員會與蘋果2大關卡,首先是在法令上能否鬆綁銀行業直接與系統整合商(蘋果),在不經過電信業者的前提下進行合作。此外,銀行業也需經過蘋果的認證,才能將信用卡或簽帳卡(Debit card)的資料,內建到iPhone 6中。
台灣商家也需廣布具備NFC的端點銷售系統(POS),才能刺激消費者以NFC進行交易,目前台灣NFC POS的建置仍相當稀少,普及率不足。
蘋果推出Apple Pay雖然讓市場驚艷,今年10月將開始在美國實施,蘋果表示,目前已經有實體零售商macy’s、Subway、麥當勞、迪士尼、Staples等共22萬個實體據點,以及商家App如Target、Groupon、Uber、OpenTable等,接受Apple Pay服務。
對台灣消費者而言,這樣的消費模式要落實在台灣,可能還需要好幾年的時間,如果想要體驗這樣的消費經驗,除了在國外消費外,還得先辦張能用的信用卡吧。1030911
