Apple Pay UK Launch!

Apple pay is now here! I did notice the Apple pay sign outside McDonald's drive thru the other day haha.

You can access it via the 'wallet ' app, but at the moment is only limited to a few cards.

Added my Santander account without any problems. My Natwest needs verification which the only option for me by calling them up. But maybe because they don't have my mobile I can't do the text verification like I did for my other card. Will try that one again later.

I don't think it's out in Australia yet. Looks pretty cool though, I want it.

I have edited the title as it is slightly misleading to people who don't live in the UK. As it's the UK launch for Apple Pay :P

haha, I actually hadn't heard of Apple Pay before so I had to google it, which is when I realised it's not here yet. Google made it look like Apple is having trouble convincing Australian authorities to allow it or something, due to security concerns and regulations? Didn't read fully into it though. The UK can test it out for us ;)

Do you have contactless payments at all? Like with just your bank cards yet or are you still stuck in the dark ages?

We have tap and go or paywave, yeah. They were reluctant to even bring that in but we've had it for a little while now.

Ah, I think the UK is like one of the leading countries for in Europe and a lot of people love it and have started to use it.

Just used it then in McDonalds - Works great, very quick and no problems.
