Apple is not happy. The Cupertino-based tech titan may soon find itself being forced to allow rival payment providers to get access to its technology after Germany\u2019s parliament voted in favour of new regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The proposed laws, which would amend the country\u2019s anti-money laundering bill, could order Apple to open up its NFC, or near-field communication, chip, which is the technology enabling cashless payments, to Apple Pay solution competitors.<\/p>\n

Apple would still be able to charge rivals a fee for using the technology, but it would not be as big as the 0.15% fee it reportedly gets at the moment from each Apple Pay transaction, according to\u00a0The Verge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company has previously vehemently protected this sort of development.<\/p>\n

Even though the proposed legislation did not name Apple by name, it is aiming to reduce tech titans\u2019 dominance in the sector.<\/p>\n

This follows from a growing desire in Germany to regulate big tech firms stricter in the future.<\/p>\n

While the amendment must still pass through Germany\u2019s upper house before being finalized into law, Apple is unhappy about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are surprised at how suddenly this legislation was introduced,\u201d Apple told\u00a0Reuters<\/a>. \u201cWe fear that the draft law could be harmful to user friendliness, data protection and the security of financial information.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news comes after\u00a0European regulators reportedly began to look into whether or not Apple had told online sales companies to use Apple Pay rather than rival solutions.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
