All added x 2 NatWest cards.
Worked a treat once you switch to US.
Sooooo, who dares switch back to UK? Assume it'll just remove cards etc.

When they last updated the app it wouldn't show any details until you confirmed your mobile number with them. I think it was in the release notes on the AppStore. Only thing I can think of as to why you're only given the option of calling natwest instead of receiving an SMS

Aye I recall (and still have the "input this code to activate secure features" SMS), but still no SMS verification option which is annoying. No matter, I'm not so keen as to feel the need to immediately go out at 1am and test it out (although there is a 24hr Subway across the road...), I'll ring up first thing and hopefully use it to buy a bacon butty at the office canteen!

How are you guys adding cards? I'm with Santander but passbook still only lets me scan codes only

When you've changed your region to US and have gone through the set up process it'll ask you to verify your card through an SMS code and you're all done. Worked on my Visa Debit but not my Santander 123 CC.

I added my NatWest debit card but I have to call to verify and they're not in. I couldn't add American Express.

I'm on iOS 9 beta and managed to add my Santander card by switching region to US.
Not showing up in wallet app on Apple watch though (also on the latest beta OS) probably have to wait until they enable Apple Pay for U.K. Passbook/Wallet properly.
Hoping First Direct/HSBC works soon too!

It's very cool trying it. Surprisingly quick as well. As soon as my thumb was on TouchID it was done.

no, you just need to change the region on the watch as well and it will work. did for me.

From the watchOS 2 release notes:
"Apple Pay is not functional with this beta."

Oh dear!

Anyone been successful at ringing NatWest on their normal number? What department do you need to ask for? They said it might not be offering me a text option as they don't send text messages overnight until 7am...
