Apple Pay is slowly adding support for more UK banks, with Halifax and Lloyds Bank the latest to launch on the mobile payment system.
HSBC and First Direct were added after the initial release of Apple Pay, and with Halifax and Lloyds now joining in the fun, that brings the number of UK banks, credit card providers and a building society available on the service to 11. Here’s a list of the companies whose cards can currently be added:
- American Express
- First Direct
- HSBC
- Halifax
- Lloyds
- NatWest
- Nationwide
- MBNA
- Royal Bank of Scotland
- Santander
- Ulster
Halifax customers can find out more about using Apple Pay on their website. Similarly, Lloyds offer setup information for their customers on their site.
As more and more banks are added, we’ll begin to see whether Apple Pay will really start to take off. If you’re a customer of one of those companies listed above, and have tried out Apple Pay, let us know how you got on in the comments below.
When Apple Pay was first announced to be coming to the UK, I thought it would just be yet another feature that I would know of but never use. I couldn’t have been more wrong! Now I find myself not even taking my wallet out with me if I know what I am going to buy and the place supports Apple Pay.
I have used both apple pay and android pay, i must admit that i prefer android pay, just seems more responsive.
There are improvements to be made on both, one is the maximum payment, i think that this should be upped
