overseas or local? For overseas, they are not regulated by MAS, so unlikely to apply in singapore as well.
according to a samsung representative, users who indicated their interested will be notified if they are selected for the beta, or not.
You a bit no link. one side apple pay the other side samsung pay..
If i am not mistaken, the conventional magnetic swipe shouldn't work at all according to previous MAS regulation, that conventional magnetic swipe cards must carry EMV chip and that local usage will be disabled for all swipe transactions. However, i don't know if the banks/MAS will lift this regulation to allow MST to kick in. I'll try tomorrow if i can.
Of course for cards with overseas swipe enabled, it will of cos work without doubt...
