Apple Pay UK

It has appeared on my phone under the U.K. Region now in iOS9 but my bank say that my card is not eligible.

I am with NatWest and I wonder if it is an iOS9 issue, or a bank account issue. I know others have succesfully added NatWest cards this morning

Can anyone from the UK running the public beta of iOS 9 see anything in wallet for Apple Pay?

hi there, i checked my phone this morning at 5:30 am when i got up and clicked on passbook (wallet iOS9) and the Apple Pay option came up, added Santander debit card. Wallet didn't show in settings but after restarting phone it showed up
 
American Express added (did not region change, stayed as U.K.), but NatWest and First Direct not working..

Natwest card added with U.K. As region this morning :)

Forgot to add I'm running iOS 9 beta 3. Also got watch OS 2 and it keeps giving me errors when trying to add the card to my watch
 
Can't add my HSBC debit card. And in addition, the Apple Pay site now has HSBC under "Coming Soon".

What was all this talk of HSBC being excited for the launch then?

What type of account so you have with NatWest?

I have a select silver account and it says it's not eligible yet
 
Wasn't showing up for me this morning, rebooted still not showing up. I went into the "Find Apps for Wallet" and when I returned to the main screen the ability to add a card was now there.

I have just a basic current account. Only started using it again for Apple pay as main account with Barclays
 
I successfully added a natwest credit card but its stuck at verification. It says i have been sent a verification code but i received nothing.

only other option is to phone the bank which i cba to do yet.

Not sure if this further than you guys got?
 
I just verified a MBNA card over the phone - a long winded business with lots of security. It is now working on my iPhone but I have to verify again from the Watch App to get it to work on the watch. MBNA advising a wait of 10 minutes and so I will try again later!

They've clearly botched the launch but haven't said anything other than its coming later in July. Their Twitter account is full of people complaining. A PR disaster for them.
 
I've got my Santander card successfully setup on my phone but I'm using WATCHOS 2.0 and it won't add my card to my watch :(

Once U.K. appears on this website AP will be live at last... Just open Passbook/Wallet and follow the prompts to add your credit/debit card.

My region has been changed to United States to show the above photo but this is how it'll look for us on the 14th!

I know contactless can be used on the tube with Apple pay but what's that oyster pass there and how did you get it?

Do you have contactless enabled debit card?

I have two accounts with Natwest. For one I have contactless enabled debit card and for other one it is still chip and pin.

Contactless one got verified etc like a breeze. Spoke to bank and they are going to send new card for other account.
