Thanks. I've just successfully added my Halifax Clarity card.

I agree with that archi

TSB is my main bank so it would be nice to get that added i've just added my lloyds and hsbc cards my halifax didn't work though not even when i tried manually.

Hopefully with lloyds added this morning TSB won't be far behind although the TSB ios app is far behind the lloyds one it can't even show pending transactions.

I have yet to see anyone use Apple Pay.

If you try and add a basic account card it does not accept it.

Think I saw one person touching out of the DLR, on my way to work and he took about 15 seconds to get it going.

Commuter rage soon appeared.:mad:

I thought TSB used Lloyds IT systems (for the moment, Sab is taking over at some point) so won't be long now.

I used it in the post office today, it was quicker than even standard contactless as I didn't have to get my card out.

may be you aren't looking in the right places? I use it all the time.

if your card isn't authorised for contactless, you won't be able to use it with Apple Pay.

what did they touch out with? It obviously can't have been Apple Pay, as you haven't seen anyone using it yet

TSB use a version of the LBG system. This does not mean the versions are always the same, and the version TSB use is completely segregated from versions in use in LBG.

There is an ongoing issue with contactless cards on TfL. I have been using contactless cards on TfL since the pilot launched in July 2014 (with the public launch in September 2014) and very often it displays "Seek assistance 97". I then have to touch it again, and it usually works the second time. This issue is the same for physical contactless cards and Apple Pay. The problem is that when this happens with Apple Pay, one has to re-authenticate with one's fingerprint, and this is what causes a delay.

Not true. My Santander Zero credit card, my Halifax Clarity card and my American Express US card are not contactless, yet I have successfully added all to Apple Pay. One of the advantages of Apple Pay, particularly in the US where contactless cards are less common, is that the underlying physical card does not need to be contactless.

Not true.

What I meant was that the card number must be authorised for contactless. I doesn't mean that the physical card is contactless-enabled.

I got such a card myself from Nationwide. I am using it all the time on my phone but can't use the card for contactless.
