At the same time, we will realize WeChat, Alipay, UnionPay Cloud FlashPay, Hefei Tong App, and China Telecom Wing Payment App to open ride code applications.

Since "Hefei Tong" has cooperated with so many mobile phone manufacturers and third-party payment platforms, why has Apple's Apple pay transportation card been delayed in going online? Hefei Tongka Company also revealed obstacles to the advancement of the project in its reply.

According to the division, in 2020, Apple has successively launched apple pay transportation card business across the country, and Hefei Tongka Company immediately contacted it to discuss cooperation. Compared with the open and free mode of the Android system of other brands of mobile phones, the IoS system of Apple mobile phones is closed and charged, and there are obvious differences between the cooperation model and other partners. In cooperation with WeChat, Alipay, UnionPay, and other brand mobile phone partners, the cooperation party pays the relevant construction costs to the Toka company, and cooperates with Apple, and the Toka company needs to pay the fee to Apple, and the proposed business conditions exceed the economic affordability of Hefei Tongka Company.

Hefei Tongka Company finally said that it will continue to communicate with Apple about the launch of Apple Mobile Apple Pay, seek more solutions and technical paths, and strive for Apple to reach equal cooperation on the basis of respecting basic business rules.
