Results of our Business Insider poll, as of closing on Sept. 16, 2014.

You'll notice that between those who are completely on board and those who are potentially open to this new form of payment, a vast majority of respondents (79%) are Apple Pay-positive. Interestingly, those who doubt the service because of potential security concerns just outweigh those who simply don't feel like changing their existing payment process.

As we've discussed, Apple Pay has the potential to revolutionize mobile payments and prove itself a major boon to credit card companies, but it also has to prove that it's trustworthy and make itself accessible to retailers.

Judging by the response above, Apple Pay could arrive to an extremely warm welcome.
