Braintree Adds Apple Pay and Android Pay in Australia

Like Apple Pay, Android Pay still has not cracked the hardest barrier of all big U.S. retailers.

Almost no major U.S. retail brands appear in the Where to Use Android Pay page at the app’s website. Such behemoths as Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, Home Depot, Lowes, CVS, Burger King, Safeway, and Target are conspicuously absent from the list. The same sorry situation is repeated at Apple Pay, where almost all the big names in U.S. retail are conspicuously absent.

The loss of Costco Canada is already hurting American Express, where revenue fell slightly between December 2014 and March 2015. AmEx reported a TTM revenue of $34.04 billion on March 31, down from $34.29 billion on December 31. The loss of Costco Canada hit American Express hard because the club store giant is huge in Canada, as anybody who visits the country knows.

Apple Pay vs. Venmo vs. Square

Square has also tried to launch its own payments apps called Square Cash and SnapCash. Square Cash is a payments app similar to Venmo and Apple Pay; SnapCash is a variation of Square Cash reengineered to work over the popular social network Snapchat. In other words, it’s Square’s answer to Venmo. One difference is that it can work with merchants that use Square.
