Questions about the vivokey apex contactless payments payment

What’s the difference between the apex contactless payment and the conversion service? I purchased the conversion service yesterday and I just now found out that the apex implant supports contactless payments. How does that work? Is it something I can link my debit card to or is it like a separate account I have to top up? Does it only work with certain banks? What’s the difference between getting the conversion service and the apex contactless payment feature? I’m worried I might’ve rushed into it and made the wrong decision.

After looking into it a little more I just saw the apex isn’t out yet. I still have those questions though and is there any sort of ETA for it yet?

Apex Flex is out, however payment companies no likey implants. It has the capability to do contactless payment, but until payment providers like Visa/MasterCard/AmEx/etc. allow it on the networks, it won’t actually work.

If you want to be able to use contactless payment on an implant right now, your only option is the conversion service.

The thing that got me initially questioning it was the interview Amal did with Tim Ventura where he mentioned he uses his vivokey apex for contactless payments among other things. The timestamp is 3:00. I’m very new to the biohacking community so I may be confused.
