PayPal launches iPhone NFC payments in Germany after EU forced Apple to open up

PayPal launches iPhone NFC payments in Germany after EU forced Apple to open up

Published by Webster

PayPal’s contactless wallet works with terminals that support Mastercard payments and is iPhone-only for now, so it won’t work on an Apple Watch, iPhone Ticker reports (via a machine translation). In December, a Norwegian payment app called Vipps became the first to take advantage of Apple’s changing ecosystem, nearly a year after Apple first announced it was opening up its NFC hardware to third-party wallet apps for EU users last year.

Manipur win 23rd Sr Women’s NFC for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy

Manipur win 23rd Sr Women’s NFC for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy

Published by Webster

Manipur’s near-monotonous monopoly over the Senior Women’s National Football Championship remained uninterrupted when they defeated Odisha 1-0 in the final of the Rajmata Jijabai Trophy at the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ground on Monday, December 23, 2024. After a barren first half, defending champions Manipur made sure of taking home the trophy for the 23rd time out of the 29 editions played so far when striker Asem Roja Devi booted in the winner through a jungle of legs off a corner kick in the 55th minute. Odisha once more had to stay content with the runners-up trophy as it was their sixth defeat in seven finals, all against the ultimate champions Manipur. On Monday, Odisha could take pride in restricting the victory margin of the mighty Manipur side to the bare minimum, but some amount of luck too played a role in the scoreline that projected a seesaw battle. While there is no denying the fact the Odisha defence put up a gallant fight against the rampaging Manipur attack, Odisha were distinctly lucky not to concede …

Namdhari FC hands Real Kashmir FC their first defeat

Namdhari FC hands Real Kashmir FC their first defeat

Published by Webster

Title contenders Real Kashmir FC’s first match away from home in the I-League 2024-25 season ended in disappointment as they went down to hosts Namdhari FC by a solitary goal at the Namdhari Stadium on Sunday. While Namdhari now has seven points after Round Five and earned their second consecutive win, Real Kashmir has eight. The men from Srinagar suffered their first defeat. Namdhari have now moved to fifth place in the points table and are breathing down Real Kashmir’s neck, who are currently placed fourth. Namdhari’s Brazilian striker Cledson Dasilva Degol scored the only goal of the match in the 15th minute. Yet, the skillful player’s day didn’t end on a happy note as he received the marching orders in the 60th minute for a rather serious tackle-from-behind foul in the middle. While Degol’s exit reduced the home side to 10 men, Real Kashmir failed to take advantage of it despite having total control over the proceedings. Namdhari lived a charmed life, survived innumerable close calls, but took home full points after the 97-minute …

Apple Offer to Open Up NFC-Based Tap-and-Go Technology Said to Be on Track for EU Approval by May

Published by Webster

Apple’s offer to open its tap-and-go mobile payments system to rivals is set to be approved by EU antitrust regulators as soon as next month after it tweaked some of the terms, people familiar with the matter said. Apple’s bid to settle the four-year investigation would help it dodge a finding of wrongdoing and stave off a potential hefty fine that could be as much as 10% of its global annual turnover. Apple’s tap-and-go technology called near-field communication, or NFC, allows for contactless payments with mobile wallets. The European Commission two years ago accused Apple of thwarting competition for its Apple Pay mobile wallet by preventing rival mobile wallets app developers from accessing its tap-and-go technology. The U.S. tech giant in January offered to let rivals access its NFC on its iPhones, iPads and other Apple mobile devices free of charge without having to use Apple Pay or Apple Wallet, with access based on fair and non-discriminatory criteria. It also offered to provide additional functionalities including defaulting of preferred payment apps, access to authentication features …
