Why Apple Pay will succeed where ISIS(Softcard) failed

I have been using Softcard for a while(may be one of the few people who use it in Phoenix). I use it only because Serve gives me $1 cash back for every transaction.

Below are my pain points when using with Softcard aka ISIS
  • I have to unlock my phone using pin
  • I have to find the app which crashes every time 
  • I have to open the app
Below are the other reasons for no adoption of Softcard:
  • Need to get the right phone. Doesn't work with Nexus
  • Need to get the right sim, phone companies never give you that unless you ask
  • App is not user friendly band integrated to OS
Apple Pay solves all this:
  • Unlocks the phone, opens Apple pay when near terminal
  • Authorizes the transaction using the perfect fingerprint reader TouchID
  • No special Sim needed
  • Seamless, beautiful 
Apple Pay is going to succeed where Softcard/ISIS and confusing Google Wallet failed. 

Simplicity is the key for a successful product and Apple always does that right. 

As they say "We say hundred No's for a single Yes"
