Amazon Rewards Visa card not allowed for apple pay in iOS 9 unless I add PKPaymentNetworkPrivateLabel to the list of payment networks I check for; is this intended?

I did not have an amazon rewards visa before iOS 9 came out so I could not verify this, but my understanding is that the rewards visa supported apple pay a year ago on iOS 8 under the existing visa payment network. Has that changed in iOS 9 now? Do I need to allow all private label credit cards in my app in order to be able to use an amazon visa card which techically works like a normal visa card? How would I prevent other cards from being selectable that fall under the private label card category?


Thanks

Accepted Answer

I figured it out; I didn't know that iOS 9 had a new method for testing payment network support (canMakePaymentsUsingNetworks:capabilities:). using that with my card and the 3DS capability set made apple pay register as supported for my card.

It will just need individual banks to sign up. Not really an issue for the merchant as unlike the US we have a really strong uptake of tap and go paypass, once your bank allows your cards to be included on the phone, we'll be set to go. CBA already have their stick on NFC chip so it wont be long they'll probably fall over each other trying to be first to have it included with the phone......

Not sure what you meant to link to, but the links present go to a traning site.
