Unfortunately it's read only so that stuff won't be coming to iOS.

I don't believe you need to write to the card in order to do payments. You send byte streams and it generates OTPs.

I was thinking of cases where you may need to update the balance on the card.

You're right, if you only used it as authorization I guess you wouldn't need write access.
