If APT continue on boarding new retailers at its current rate or (preferably) faster then the momentum will be well on its side before VISA launch. With the sheer volume of customers that APT could then attract it may be difficult for retailers to not offer it as an option. I wonder how merchants will react to the VISA news and whether they might hold out from oboarding with APT in the hope of a better deal with VISA later on. I'll be a lot more confident when I hear a few more big names have onboarded with APT in both US and UK markets
