Apple Pay with extra steps

[bethlehempriory]

Just curious since no Malaysian bank or financial service company supports Apple Pay. Is it possible to get a card from elsewhere (Singapore, U.K. & etc.). Then change your iPhone’s region (in settings) to the card issuer’s country.

Requirements:

• Their app must be available in the Malaysian Apple App Store.

• Allow the card holder to sign up & reside in Malaysia.

•Preferably a prepaid card.

I searched financial services such as Transferwise & Revolut, which might be suitable. But would like to hear from others’ experience.

@bethlehempriory Why would you pay extra forex charges (usually 3%) just to look cool?

Just sit tight and wait for Malaysia banks to support Apple Pay.

@jtra5 Yes that’s why I’m asking, do you know any that is good? Transferwise?

@bethlehempriory What's your purpose actually?

@bethlehempriory Big Pay has low fee

@urbanbee Cool, is it possible to add it to Apple Wallet?
