BRUSSELS : Norwegian mobile payment app Vipps wants European Union antitrust regulators to force Apple to allow access to its tap and go technology without any restrictions so that other companies can be more competitive, Vipps Chief Executive Rune Garborg said.
Vipps, owned by a consortium of Norwegian banks and which merged with Danish peer MobilePay last year, said the issue is critical because of Apple's popularity in the Nordics and the increasing use of mobile payments, which is powered by near field communication technology. "Apple is only sharing NFC with banks, which have to pay for installing their cards in Apple Pay. But for us as a wallet, we don't have open access to NFC," he said.
