Re: Advantages with Push Payments?

Hi Anders,

no. typically current implementation like paypal, google wallet etc are 
push-based payment, you tell paypal to pay the merchant, and the 
merchant provides paypal its paypalid. Exact same model with credit 
transfer (wire transfer).
so various scheme implement push-based payment, and it is probably an 
easier way to have secure transaction on short term.

> Does the underlying payment networks support push payments?

yes, again, the example is wire transfer which is a well implemented 
worldwide scheme.


> Maybe equally important: does Apple Pay use push payments?
It is the choice of different payment provider to go for one scheme or 
another. Apple Pay decided to go for token which is perfectly ok, but 
does not preclude other options. there are not exclusive.
