    Frequently asked questions

    • What devices are compatible with Apple Pay? expandable section

      Visit the Apple website to check which devices are compatible with Apple Pay and where you can use them to make payments and purchases.

    • What is the transaction limit for Apple Pay? expandable section

      To protect you from fraud, we may restrict the value or number of payments you can make using Apple Pay. Make sure you carry your physical business debit card with you just in case. Some retailers may also limit payments to £100.

    • Does the Wallet app show my recent transactions? expandable section

      You’ll be able to see your most recent transactions made using Apple Pay on that device. All your card transactions will appear on your bank statement in the usual way.

    • Can I use multiple cards with Apple Pay? expandable section

      Each Apple Pay enabled device can load up to eight cards. As devices do not share cards, if you want the same card on two different devices, you’ll need to load the card on each device separately.

    • Can I use Apple pay when I’m abroad? expandable section

      All retailers who accept contactless payments will accept Apple Pay whether they’re in the UK or overseas. Different transaction limits will apply depending on which country you’re in. We recommend carrying your physical card as a backup in case a retailer is unable to accept Apple Pay.

      If you use Apple Pay to pay with a card overseas, standard overseas charges will apply according to your card terms and conditions. Based on your mobile plan and mobile networks offering, additional message data charges and foreign transaction fees may also apply.

    • My card is in Apple Wallet, but payments are not working expandable section

      If your card shows in Apple Wallet, but you still can’t make a payment, it’s likely because the card has been added but isn’t active yet.

      To activate your card: 

      1. Open Apple Wallet
      2. Select your card
      3. Follow the steps shown to complete activation
      4. Once activated, your card will be ready to use.

    • I got an SMS saying my card had been added to Wallet, but this wasn't me expandable section
