Hi,

Please make it possible to use Fitbit Pay with banks providing service in Hungary like Erste.

Thanks!

Hi, 

Thanks for the submission!!!

+1 for Fitbit Pay coming to Hungary!

I either would like to be integrated with Erste Bank Hungary or with the Simple app made by OTP Bank

Would be great if you add this bank from Czechia to supported banks by Fitbit Pay.

Hi @ohynek, thanks for sharing this suggestion. I think that a lot of user might benefit since this is one of the biggest Czech banks. Let's see what others think.

Thanks @d_k, that's a great suggestion. That's a big list, I hope we can have updates about it soon, let's wait what other users think.

i'd like to second that wish and extend it to support the whole erste group (especially as garmin pay support is already going live).

Thanks for the heads up @d_k. That was of great help. I've merged both suggestions here, we'll keep a eye on this suggestion.

Update: 

AT: bank begun to replace maestro cards with mastercard debit. so within <2 years all customers would be potential fitbit pay users, without requesting a not so common credit card. https://www.sparkasse.at/oberoesterreich/privatkunden/konto-karten/karten/debit-mastercard-zum-onlin...

CZ: google / apple pay is already supported or announced. https://www.cnews.cz/banky-apple-pay-google-pay-plan-2019/

[d_k]

Update:

Apple Pay enabled for all Credit and Debit Cards in Austria: https://blog.mygeorge.at/willkommen-bei-george-apple-pay/3667/

Update:

Swatch Pay and Garmin Pay supported as well. Just fitbit is missing 🙄
